1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly diagnosed within the first two years of life. In this report, we describe the case of a 56-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and obstipation. A computed tomography scan revealed a cystic mass at the ileocecal transition point, which was concerning for malignancy. A laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed, and the pathology of the specimen revealed an enteric duplication cyst as well as six incidental neuroendocrine tumors. Despite their rare occurrence in adults, enteric duplication cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of adults presenting with obstructive symptoms, and surgical resection should be strongly considered.
