Dual-mechanism small bowel obstruction from Meckel diverticulum in an 8-year-old: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
We report a dual-etiology obstruction in an 8-year-old boy: congenital closed-loop small bowel obstruction (SBO) from a volvulized Meckel diverticulum tethered by an omphalomesenteric duct remnant, followed by early postoperative focal SBO from an omental band. He presented after one week of abdominal pain with worsening and non-bloody, non-bilious emesis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed distal SBO with a mesenteric swirl. Laparoscopy confirmed a necrotic Meckel diverticulum with volvulized distal ileum; the tethering band was divided and segmental ileal resection with anastomosis performed. After transient return of bowel function, he developed recurrent distention and bilious emesis; imaging showed a discrete transition point near the anastomosis with decompressed distal bowel and colon. Symptoms persisted despite decompression and parenteral nutrition. Repeat laparoscopy revealed a single omental band proximal to the anastomosis; adhesiolysis resolved obstruction. Clinical lesson: early focal postoperative SBO with a discrete transition point may warrant prompt minimally invasive re-exploration.
