History of and current issues affecting surgery for pediatric ulcerative colitis.
Review in Surgery today, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) is reportedly more extensive and progressive in its clinical course than adult UC. Therefore, more aggressive initial therapies and more frequent colectomies are needed. When physicians treat pediatric UC, they must consider the therapeutic outcome as well as the child's physical and psychological development. Mucosal proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis is currently recommended as a standard curative surgical procedure for UC in both children and adults worldwide. This procedure was developed 100 years after the first surgical therapy, which treated UC by colon irrigation through a temporary inguinal colostomy. Predecessors in the colorectal and pediatric surgical fields have struggled against several postoperative complications and have long sought a surgical procedure that is optimal for children. We herein describe the history of the development of surgical procedures and the current issues regarding the surgical indications for pediatric UC. These issues differ from those in adults, including the definition of toxic megacolon on plain X-rays, the incidence of colon carcinoma, preoperative and postoperative steroid complications, and future growth. Surgeons treating children with UC should consider the historical experiences of pioneer surgeons to take the most appropriate next step to improve the surgical outcomes and patients' quality of life.
