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

Background: Surgery is required for the treatment of intussusception when enema reduction is unsuccessful, or when the patient develops peritonitis, bowel perforation, or intestinal damage. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory parameters that may be used to predict the need for bowel resection in children with intussusception. Methods: This observational retrospective study included children who were admitted to the pediatric emergency department with intussusception. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate factors associated with bowel resection. Results: In total, 584 children with intussusception were admitted to the pediatric emergency department; 129 of these children underwent surgery. Multivariate analysis revealed the following independent predictors of bowel resection for intussusception: symptoms for at least 2 days before surgery (OR = 6.863; Conclusion: Symptoms for at least 2 days before surgery, long intussusception, pathological lead, and intensive care unit admission were predictors of bowel resection in children with intussusception. These findings can be used to identify patients at high risk of needing surgery and bowel resection.
