Ultrasound-guided reduction of intussusception: a safe and effective method performed by pediatric surgeons.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectivesUltrasound has developed as the method of choice for diagnosing intussusception. Ultrasound-guided enema reduction is the standard method for treating intussusception. This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment of intussusception performed solely by pediatric surgeons.
methodsCharts were studied of all patients who were treatedfor intussusception in our unit from 2013 to 2015. Primary outcome measure was the completeness of reduction, and secondary outcome measure was the rate of complications and elapsed time until surgical treatment.
resultsWe included 38 patients in this retrospective study. The mean age was 16.7 months (±15), and the female to male ratio was 1:2. Diagnosis was established by abdominal ultrasound. Thirty-five of thirty-eight patients underwent ultrasound-guided enema reduction at our institution. Three of thirty-eight patients were scheduled for immediate surgery due to signs of peritonitis or prolonged bowel obstruction. The overall rate of successful ultrasound enema reduction was 28/35 (80 %) patients. Seven of thirty-five patients underwent surgery after an unsuccessful enema reduction; 6/7 patients had a prolonged history of symptoms, and 6/7 patients had a specific pathological lead point. The length of hospitalization was less than 2 days for patients after enema reduction. Recurrence was observed in three cases (8.5 %). We did not observe any complications during enema reduction.
conclusionsUltrasound-guided enema reduction for intussusception is safe and effective when performed by pediatric surgeons.
