The long-term health-related quality of life in patients operated for choledochal cyst.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeLate postoperative complications in choledochal cyst (CC) patients are severe problems that affect the quality of life (QOL). We evaluated the postoperative complications and health-related QOL (HRQOL) of CC patients ≥ 18 years of age.
methodsFrom April 1984 to January 2018, 114 CC patients underwent definitive surgery at our institution. Seventy-nine patients reached ≥ 18 years of age. The HRQOL was assessed using the Japanese version of the SF-36v2. Eight health domain (physical functioning, role-physical, body pain, general health, role-emotional, vitality, mental health, and social functioning) scores and three component summary [physical component summary, mental component summary (MCS), and role-social component summary] scores were compared between the patients with and without complications (C [+] vs. C [-]).
resultsThirty-five patients answered the questionnaires. Twelve patients had postoperative complications. Among the eight domains, the score of general health was significantly lower in C [+] patients than in C [-] patients (p = 0.0488). Among the three component scores, the MCS score in C [+] patients was lower than in C [-] patients without significance (p = 0.0953).
conclusionsThe HRQOL of CC patients ≥ 18 years of age was mostly acceptable. However, postoperative complications can impair the sense of well-being and affect the mental health.
