Incidence of acute intussusception among infants in eastern France: results of the EPIstudy trial.
Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The incidence of intussusception in infants varies around the world. The epidemiology of intussusception in France has never been prospectively studied. We performed a prospective observational study with systematic inclusion of all infants aged <1 year with suspected intussusception admitted to the emergency departments of the hospitals in the eastern region of France (98,000 live births per year), from 4/1/2008 to 3/31/2012. Cases were classified using the Brighton Collaboration classification. In total, 185 infants with suspected intussusception were included of which 169 were idiopathic intussusception. Among these 169 cases, 115 (68%) were classed as Brighton level 1 (confirmed cases). Overall incidence of intussusception over the 4 years of the study was 29.8 (95% CI 24.6-35.7) cases per 100,000 live births for level 1 and 37.5 (95% CI 31.7-44.2) cases per 100,000 live births for all cases (levels 1-4). Annual incidence rates of level 1 intussusception were as follows: 44 (95% CI 31.9-59.3), 30.9 (20.9-44.2), 21.7 (13.4-33.2) and 22.1 (13.7-33.8) per 100,000 live births in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th study years, respectively.
conclusionThe incidence rate of intussusception in the eastern part of France is comparable to that of other European countries. There was a significant trend towards a decrease in the incidence of intussusception. What is known • Intussusception is the most frequent causes of intestinal obstruction in infants and young children. Overall incidence of intussusception in infants aged <1 year varies widely around the world. No specific epidemiological studies have not been conducted in France on intussusception. What is new: • This prospective and multicenter study provides important information about the epidemiology of intussusception in infants in France over a period of 4 years.
