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

Duodenal obstruction in the setting of situs inversus abdominis is an uncommon clinical finding. We report 2 neonates who presented with bile-stained vomiting and abdominal distension. Diagnostic workup, including radiography and ultrasonography, confirmed the diagnosis of situs inversus abdominis with duodenal obstruction due to annular pancreas in the first case and due to intestinal malrotation in the second. A Ladd's procedure was successfully performed to relieve the obstruction. Both patients recovered well, initiating full enteral feeds and were subsequently discharged. These cases underscore the diagnostic challenges posed by this rare association and highlight that a standardized surgical approach, adapted to the mirror-image anatomy, can lead to a successful outcome. Early recognition and tailored intervention are crucial in the management of these complex patients.
