A rare cause of recurrent vomiting: large polypoid duodenal gastric heterotopia. A case report with a focused review of the paediatric literature.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Gastric heterotopia (GH) is a developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa outside its normal location. It is rare in the duodenum, particularly as a large polypoid lesion in children. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy who developed recurrent postprandial nausea and vomiting at 11 years of age. Imaging and endoscopy revealed a large partially obstructing polypoid mass in the distal duodenum. Technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy demonstrated ectopic gastric mucosa. The lesion was successfully removed through a two-stage endoscopic resection, leading to complete symptom resolution. Histopathological examination confirmed a hyperplastic polyp arising from heterotopic gastric mucosa in the distal duodenum. This case highlights that polypoid duodenal GH should be considered in children presenting with chronic unexplained vomiting or symptoms of partial upper intestinal obstruction. Complete resection resulted in symptom resolution in our patient and may be achieved endoscopically in selected cases.
