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

We evaluated 85 children with congenital chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIP) over the past 10 years. Twelve (14%) were born prematurely. One had a family history of CIP. Six had systemic diseases. Thirty-five (41%) had urinary bladder involvement. Manometric features were consistent with myopathy in 32, neuropathy in 48, and mixed disease in 5. Of 48 patients with neuropathy, 6 had urinary bladder involvement (12.5%) (P < 0.0001 vs myopathy), and 10 had malrotation (21%) (P = NS vs myopathy). Upon referral, 53 (62%) were dependent on partial or total parenteral nutrition (PN). At the time of chart review (median 25 months after evaluation), 22 patients had died, 14 of whom were on total PN, 13 of them died because of PN-related complications and 1 died of sepsis. Three others died of sepsis while on partial PN (P = 0.007 vs mortality in patients fed enterally) and five died after small bowel transplantation. In conclusion, in children with congenital CIP, the risk for prematurity is increased twofold, the majority of cases are sporadic, abnormal bladder function is more common in myopathic CIP, and complications related to parenteral nutrition are the main cause of death in children with CIP.
