1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Type II choledochal cysts (CCs), a rare form of congenital biliary dilation characterized as a true diverticulum along the extrahepatic duct, comprise less than 2% of all cases. The coexistence of CC, annular pancreas (AP), and duodenal stenosis (DS) has been scarcely reported. We present the case of a 45-day-old female with a rare combination of congenital upper gastrointestinal anomalies discovered intraoperatively after imaging identified malrotation with concern for possible volvulus. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy revealing a Type II CC, partial AP, and DS. Management included cyst excision, diamond-shaped duodenoduodenostomy, and Ladd procedure, after which the patient's recovery was uneventful. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a broad differential in infants with upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction and aims to improve awareness of these associated congenital pathologies.
