Predictors of a successful outcome for infants with short bowel syndrome: a 30-year single-institution experience.
Article in Surgery today, 2017. 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
purposeShort-bowel syndrome (SBS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We conducted this study to establish the predictors of survival and weaning off parenteral nutrition (PN).
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 16 SBS infants treated at our institution within a 30-year period. SBS was defined as a residual small-bowel length (RSBL) of <75 cm. Loss of the ileocecal valve (ICV), cholestasis (D-Bil >2.0 mg/dl), enterostomy, and RSBL were all evaluated. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the predictors.
resultsThe mean RSBL was 34.9 ± 22.9 cm. Six patients died (37.5%) and nine patients were weaned off PN (56.3%). Significant differences were observed in cholestasis (p < 0.03), enterostomy (p < 0.01), an absolute RSBL of <30 cm (p < 0.04), and a percentage of expected RSBL of <10% (p < 0.04) as survival predictors. Significant differences were also observed for cholestasis (p < 0.01), loss of the ICV (p < 0.04), an absolute RSBL of <20 cm (p < 0.01), and a percentage of expected RSBL of <10% (p < 0.03) as predictors of weaning off PN.
conclusionThese predictors may help us select the optimal treatments for pediatric patients with SBS.
