1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLaparoscopic approach for the surgical management of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) has become increasingly common for pediatric patients. The purpose of this study was to compare short-term outcomes and resource utilization between open and laparoscopic surgery for prophylactic colectomy in children with FAP.

methodsThe Kids' Inpatient Database (2009 and 2012) was analyzed for children (age ≤20 years) with FAP that underwent prophylactic total colectomy or proctocolectomy. Patient demographics, treating hospital characteristics, hospital charges, and short-term outcomes were compared according to the surgical technique utilized (open versus laparoscopic).

resultsOverall, we identified 216 patients with FAP that underwent elective total colectomy, of which 95 cases were performed by open surgery and 121 were done laparoscopically. The majority of patients were treated at large, not-for-profit, urban teaching hospitals, and the median age was equal (16 years) in both groups. Complications that were more common for open procedures included accidental perforation or hemorrhage (4%

conclusionsA laparoscopic approach for prophylactic colectomy can be safely performed in children with FAP, and total hospital charges are equivalent compared to open surgery. However, simultaneous proctectomy was performed less often with laparoscopic surgery.
