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

Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting from an incomplete obliteration of the vitello-intestinal duct. Generally, Meckel's diverticulum is asymptomatic, but it can present as intestinal perforation, obstruction, hemorrhage, and diverticulitis. These complications can develop through various mechanisms such as volvulus, adhesions, intussusception, and internal hernia. Small bowel obstruction due to a meso-diverticular band of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication. Herein, we present a case series of three male patients presenting with intestinal obstruction due to a band of Meckel's diverticulum.
