Successful Separation of Female Omphalopagus Conjoined Twins at the Mother and Child University Hospital Center in N'Djamena, Chad: A Case Report.

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 Conjoined twin pregnancies are rare, and the twins can be connected via shared organs or anatomical structures. Omphalopagus conjoined twins represent 10% of cases and are connected at the abdominal wall, typically between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus. They can share the liver, biliary tract, and upper gastrointestinal system. This report describes the successful separation of female omphalopagus conjoined twins at a specialist center in N'Djamena, Chad. CASE REPORT One-day-old female omphalopagus conjoined twins were admitted to the Mother and Child University Hospital in N'Djamena. The mother had received no prenatal consultations, and delivery occurred at home via the vaginal route. Evaluation by abdominal computed tomography revealed fusion at the abdominal wall and a shared liver. The heart and other vital organs were separate. A successful elective surgical separation was performed by a multidisciplinary team. The twins had a favorable postoperative course and were discharged on day 25. At 24-month follow-up, they show good psychomotor development despite a transient episode of malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS Successful separation confirms the favorable prognosis of omphalopagus twins, especially when preoperative imaging demonstrates distinct vital organs. Achieving this surgical outcome in a low-resource setting highlights the critical role of a rigorous multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of conjoined twins and the importance of careful follow-up after twin separation.
