Megaduodenum secondary to jejunal atresia: a pediatric case report of a rare surgical complication.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction and importance: Neonatal jejunal atresia repair is a critical surgery, but late complications such as megaduodenum can occur, emphasizing the need for continued follow-up and management. Case presentation: We present a 13-year-old female with a history of neonatal jejunal atresia, repaired 13 years ago by side-to-side jejunojejunal anastomosis. Due to family circumstances, she was lost to follow-up and did not receive further care. Thirteen years after the primary surgery, she presented with chronic, non-specific symptoms of abdominal distension, vomiting, and malnutrition, leading to the diagnosis of megaduodenum. Clinical discussion: The patient underwent duodenal resection and end-to-end duodenojejunal anastomosis. One year following the surgery, her symptoms completely resolved, and she showed significant nutritional recovery. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention and long-term follow-up, demonstrating that anatomical reconstruction can be highly effective in treating pediatric megaduodenum, even when delayed by family-related factors.
