Classification of short-term complications after transanal endorectal pullthrough for Hirschsprung's disease using the Clavien-Dindo-grading system.
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 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeHirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a developmental defect of the enteric nervous system. Transanal endorectal pullthrough (TERPT) is one of the surgical procedures for HSCR. Clavien-Dindo is an objective classification system, used worldwide, to describe postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to use Clavien-Dindo grading for short-term complication after TERPT.
methodsThis was a cohort study including all 69 individuals, with biopsy-verified HSCR, managed with TERPT at our institution between 2006 and 2018. Data on the surgical procedure, as well as short-term complications, were retrieved from the medical records. The main outcome was postoperative complications graded according to Clavien-Dindo.
resultsFifteen (22%) of the 69 patients (51 males) had a short-term postoperative complication graded according to Clavien-Dindo. The complications were Grade I in ten patients, Grade II in four patients, and Grade IIIb in one patient. Individuals with a Clavien-Dindo complication had a significantly longer post-operative hospital stay [median 6 days (4-30) compared to 4 days (1-22), p = 0.035].
conclusionsIt is important to describe postoperative complications in a structured way to make it possible to compare studies. Post-operative complications, according to Clavien-Dindo, occurred in 22% of the patients after TERPT.
