Lemmel Syndrome: A Surgical Enigma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is the most common type of duodenal diverticula found in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal tract assessments. Even while PAD typically does not manifest any symptoms, it can nevertheless be a source of obstructive jaundice in the absence of a tumor or choledocholithiasis, a condition known as Lemmel's syndrome. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with abdominal discomfort and multiple episodes of vomiting. After comprehensive clinical examination and investigations, a provisional diagnosis of Lemmel's syndrome was made, leading to initial conservative management for diverticulitis, followed by an exploratory procedure. This case underscores the importance of recognizing Lemmel's syndrome as a differential diagnosis for obstructive jaundice when duodenal diverticula are present, to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure timely, appropriate treatment.
