Laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment of neonates with duodenal obstruction associated with an annular pancreas: report of 11 cases.
Article in Surgery today, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeLaparoscopic procedures involving a neonatal annular pancreas have only been sporadically reported in the literature. We herein present our initial experience with an annular pancreas in newborns treated via a laparoscopic approach.
methodsA retrospective review of the laparoscopic methods used for an annular pancreas in 11 neonates from September 2009 to April 2013 was performed. Among the patients, seven were male and four were female. The age of the patients ranged from 1 to 13 days (mean 4.2 days). An annular pancreas was diagnosed under laparoscopic vision. In all of the cases, the surgical procedures were performed laparoscopically.
resultsThe operation was accomplished by a laparoscopic procedure in all cases. The length of the operation ranged from 70 to 145 min (mean, 96.6 min). Feedings started on postoperative days 4-7 (mean, day 5), and patients were discharged on postoperative days 9-15 (mean, day 10.6). Ten cases were followed up for 4-39 months (mean, 15.2 months). The case complicated with anal atresia died of pneumonia 6 months later after the procedure, but the other patients were doing well at the most recent follow-up examination.
conclusionThe laparoscopic approach for an annular pancreas can be securely performed in the neonatal period. Our early experience suggests the outcomes were excellent.
