Outcomes in patients with Hirschsprung disease following definitive surgery.
Article in BMC research notes, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveSeveral pull-through procedures have been described for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) with varying outcomes. We aimed to describe the outcomes in HSCR patients < 18 year of age who underwent surgical procedures at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia from January 2013 to December 2014.
resultsWe utilized 67 HSCR patients, of whom 49 (73%) were males and 18 (27%) females. Neonatal presentation was seen in 57 cases (85%) and most patients (98.5%) had short-segment HSCR. The clinical manifestations were mainly abdominal distension (94%) and delayed passage of meconium (45%). The most common definitive treatment performed was transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT) (54%), followed by Soave (18%) and Duhamel (13%) procedures. Enterocolitis occurred in 13% of the HSCR patients after endorectal pull-through, but did not reach a significant level (p-value = 0.65), while the constipation rate was significantly higher in HSCR patients who underwent posterior neurectomy compared with those other procedures (OR = 15.5, 95% CI = 1.8-132.5; p-value = 0.019). In conclusions, most HSCR patients in Indonesia were diagnosed in the neonatal period and underwent the TEPT procedure. Furthermore, the risk of constipation is increased in HSCR patients following posterior neurectomy compared with other definitive surgical techniques.
