Surgical Management of Hirschsprung's Disease: A Comparative Study Between Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery, Transumbilical Single-Site Laparoscopic Surgery, and Robotic Surgery.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 5 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
Background: Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a commonly digestive malformation in children that usually requires surgery. This study aims to evaluate the short-term efficacy of conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS), transumbilical single-hole laparoscopic surgery (TU-LESS), and robotic surgery (RS) in the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease. Methods: 90 patients with Hirschsprung's disease undergone laparoscopic surgery at our center between 2015 and 2019, divided into three groups (group CLS, TU-LESS and RS), were retrospectively analysed. Results: CLS and TU-LESS group showed no significant difference in operation duration ( Conclusion: The three surgical methods for HD revealed similar efficacy, where TU-LESS and CLS spent less time than RS; TU-LESS led to the most aesthetic effect, followed by CLS and RS.
