Classification and diagnostic criteria of variants of Hirschsprung's disease.
Review in Pediatric surgery international, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
"Variants of Hirschsprung's disease" are conditions that clinically resemble Hirschsprung's disease (HD), despite the presence of ganglion cells in rectal suction biopsies. The diagnosis and management of these patients can be challenging. Specific histological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic investigations are required to characterize this heterogeneous group of functional bowel disorders. Variants of HD include intestinal neuronal dysplasia, intestinal ganglioneuromatosis, isolated hypoganglionosis, immature ganglia, absence of the argyrophil plexus, internal anal sphincter achalasia and congenital smooth muscle cell disorders such as megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. This review article systematically classifies variants of HD based on current diagnostic criteria with an additional focus on pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical presentation, management and outcome.
