Management of meconium ileus with perforation and formation of a huge pseudocyst: a neonatal case report.
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
Background: Meconium ileus complicated by prenatal perforation and pseudocyst formation is a severe variant requiring prompt surgical management. Case presentation: A female newborn presented with severe abdominal distention, with a prenatal ultrasound showing ascites. Postnatal imaging suggested complex meconium ileus with meconium peritonitis. Laparotomy on day 2 revealed a large pseudocyst and a single perforation. The cyst was drained, adhesions released, inspissated meconium evacuated via appendiceal catheterization, and the perforation repaired. The infant recovered well, tolerated feeds, and was discharged in stable condition. Given family history, evaluation for cystic fibrosis was initiated, and enzyme/vitamin therapy started. Conclusion: Early recognition, timely surgery, and coordinated postoperative care can achieve favorable outcomes even in complex meconium ileus with prenatal perforation and pseudocyst formation. Prenatal identification of abdominal abnormalities should prompt delivery in a center with neonatal surgical capability.
