Single-stage restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis in pediatric patients: a safe alternative.

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
backgroundSurgical management for refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) has been restorative proctocolectomy (RP) with ileal-pouch-anal-anastomosis (IPAA) done as one to three stages, with safety and effectiveness of a single-stage operation unclear.
methodsPediatric UC patients from 2004 to 2019 who underwent RP/IPAA in the initial operation were retrospectively reviewed. 1-stage operations were matched 1:2 to 2-stage operations using age, duration of disease, and disease severity.
resultsNinety-nine patients (33 1-stage, 66 2-stage) were identified. The median total operative time was shorter in the 1-stage group (6 h:00 min vs. 7 h:47 min, p = 0.004). Total length of stay was shorter in the 1-stage group (9 vs. 17 days, p = 0.001). Rates of readmission were higher in 2-stage group (30 vs. 9%, p = 0.02). There was no difference in pouch leak rates (p = 1.00). Stricture rates were higher in the 2-stage group (50 vs. 16%, p = 0.005). Functional outcomes including pouchitis (p = 0.13), daily bowel movements (p = 0.37), and incontinence (p = 0.77) were all similar.
conclusionsRestorative proctocolectomy with IPAA in children with UC can be performed as a 1- or 2-stage operation with equivalent short-term, long-term, and functional outcomes in similar risk population. Our findings suggest 1-stage RP/IPAA operations without ileostomy are a safe alternative for patients considered for a 2-stage operation.
