A case report of double Meckel's diverticulum with a mobile cecum.
Article in BMC surgery, 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
backgroundMeckel’s diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the coexistence of double Meckel’s diverticula and a mobile cecum is rare and has rarely been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old male presented with melena, and his condition subsequently deteriorated, with a blood pressure of 73/57 mmHg and a heart rate of 56 beats/min. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant blind lumen filled with hematoma and malposition of the right colon. The patient underwent an emergency surgery. Although a smaller diverticulum was initially found via minilaparotomy, the discrepancy with preoperative imaging prompted further laparoscopic exploration, which revealed a second large diverticulum measuring 170 mm. Both diverticula were resected. Pathological examination revealed that the smaller diverticulum contained ectopic duodenal and gastric mucosa, whereas the larger diverticulum contained ectopic gastric mucosa and pancreatic tissue.
conclusionsThe coexistence of double Meckel’s diverticula and a mobile cecum is a rare anomaly. Although life-threatening hemorrhage from a Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon presentation in adults, this case highlights the critical need to thoroughly explore for additional lesions when intraoperative findings do not fully align with preoperative imaging. Furthermore, surgical strategies must be tailored to the specific morphology of each diverticulum.
