Mentonian Parasitic Twin: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Parasitic or asymmetric twins are a rare form of conjoined twins. Thoracopagus and omphalopagus are the most common types, whereas mentonian location remains exceptionally rare. We report the case of a male neonate, born to non-consanguineous parents, who presented with a parasitic twin attached to the left mentonian region, without communication with vital structures, and which was surgically excised. However, the autosite presents a complex congenital heart defect. This case illustrates an extremely rare presentation of parasitic twins located in the mentonian region and highlights the importance of a thorough multidisciplinary evaluation. The prognosis and management depend on the site of attachment, anatomical relationships, and the presence of associated malformations, particularly congenital heart defects, which can be life-threatening.
