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

Surgery has dramatically improved survival of infants with esophageal atresia. However, early and late complications of these surgeries affect the future life of this population. A probable step toward minimizing such complications is through modifying the technique of surgery. We evaluated two groups of esophageal atresia undergoing surgery with two different techniques including preservation and ligation of the Azygos vein and compared early complications, duration of surgery, and hospital and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay between them. A total number of 24 patients with mean age of 24 to 48 h, who were diagnosed with esophageal atresia, were included in the study. All cases were randomly allocated in two groups: group A (case group) in which patients underwent surgery with preservation of the Azygos vein and group B (control group) in which patients underwent the former surgical method with ligation of the Azygos vein. Incidence of early complications, duration of surgery, and NICU and hospital stay were compared between the two groups. None of the complications occurred in either group. Duration of surgery, NICU stay, and hospital stay were not statistically significant between the groups. Preserving the Azygos vein during esophageal atresia surgery is probably a good modification of the classic technique.
