Laparoscopy versus open surgery for idiopathic intussusception in children.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06351163 (Minimally Invasive Surgical Management for Pediatric Intussusception), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 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.

Abstract
purposeThis study aims to compare the results of laparoscopy and open surgery for idiopathic intussusception in children as well as evaluate the efficacy of ileopexy. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Between January 2007 and July 2013, children aged <18 years who were operated for intussusception in our institution were reviewed. Patients were classified into two groups, laparoscopy (LAP) and open (OPEN). Both groups were further divided into two subgroups, ileopexy (IP) and non-ileopexy (NIP). Parameters investigated included age, gender, operative indication, surgical procedure, type of intussusception, level of intussusceptum, presence of spontaneously reduced intussusception and pathologic lead points, operative time (OP time), time to oral intake (PO time), length of postoperative hospital stay (LOS), and surgical recurrence.
resultsThere were 23 and 35 patients in LAP and OPEN group, respectively. No significant difference was found on age, operative indication, surgical procedure, type of intussusception, level of intussusceptum, and presence of spontaneously reduced intussusception between both groups. In LAP group, mean OP time was significantly longer; mean PO time and LOS were significantly shorter. One surgical recurrence occurred in each group (p = 0.76). In comparison of LAP-IP (n = 15) and LAP-NIP (n = 8), OP time, PO time, and LOS were similar in both subgroups. One recurrence was noted in LAP-IP (p = 0.46). The overall conversion rate was 13.0 % (6.8 vs. 25 %, p = 0.21). Compared to patients with intussusceptum to ascending colon, the conversion rate was significantly higher in patients with intussusceptum to transverse and descending colon. With the exclusion of conversion, OP time was significantly shorter in LAP-NIP (p = 0.01).
conclusionLaparoscopy should be considered the primary modality for radiologically irreducible or recurrent idiopathic intussusception in children. Ileopexy provides no benefit on recurrence prevention but contributes to longer OP time.
