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

purposeIntussusception is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal emergencies in infants and preschool children. Loss of intestine viability is the most serious complication of intussusception. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for loss of intestine viability in pediatric intussusception cases among children.

methodsData were collected for operative pediatric intussusception cases (N = 316) from medical records of 5,537 hospitalized children due to intussusception between June 2009 and May 2014 in a pediatric surgery department of an academic teaching hospital in China. Seventy-six patients (24.1 %) of the operated intussusception cases had complication of loss intestine viability.

resultsPediatric intussusception cases with loss of intestine viability and without loss of intestine viability were similar in terms of their age, malformation and season of admission. The median time of the duration from onset of symptoms to operative treatment was 23 h (range 3-90 h). The loss of intestine viability group of the intussusception cases was significantly associated with longer length of history (P = 0.000). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for length of history showed that the optimal ratio of sensitivity (0.70) and specificity (0.73) was calculated for the length of history longer than 27.5 h regarding loss of intestine viability of intussusception. In addition, the risk of loss of intestine viability was higher for female (31 %) than for male (20.8 %) (P = 0.049). The loss of intestine viability rate was also significantly higher in ileo-ileal intussusception cases than that of the other types (P = 0.033). However, there is no difference among the other groups.

conclusionThe result of our risk factor analysis for loss of intestine viability in pediatric intussusception cases may help develop a predictability index to prevent the complication to happen. Further prospective studies are required to confirm our findings.
