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

Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare vascular anomaly associated with heterotaxy syndrome, typically presenting as duodenal obstruction in left isomerism. We report a 13-month-old male with right isomerism, single ventricle physiology, and asplenia who presented with postprandial vomiting. Computed tomography revealed a PDPV anterior to the pylorus, and upper gastrointestinal contrast study confirmed mesentericoaxial gastric volvulus. Surgery consisted of gastric derotation, ante-PDPV pyloroduodenostomy, and anterior gastropexy. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained asymptomatic at 9-month follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first report of PDPV with right isomerism complicated by gastric volvulus. Absent gastric stabilizing ligaments in asplenia, combined with PDPV-related obstruction, may predispose to volvulus. Multimodal imaging and individualized surgical management are essential in this rare setting.
