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

backgroundOmphalocele is a congenital abdominal wall defect with an incidence of 1/4,200 births. Repair timing varies from the neonatal period to the first few years of life. Surgical technique has changed over the last two decades. We sought to establish improved surgical/ventilation protocols for patients with omphaloceles requiring abdominal reconstruction.

methodsAn IRB-approved retrospective review was performed on patients with omphalocele requiring abdominal wall reconstruction by Plastics and/or Pediatric Surgery at a pediatric tertiary-care referral center (January 2006-July 2021). Birth history, comorbidities, surgical details, ventilation data, complications/recurrence were extracted.

resultsOf 129 patients screened, seven required Plastic Surgery involvement. Defect size was 102.9 cm

conclusionPatients with large defects secondary to omphalocele benefit from collaboration between Pediatric and Plastic Surgery for component separation and primary fascial closure without mesh. Future research should follow patients who mature out of pediatric clinics to evaluate the incidence of hernias in adults with Plastic Surgery-repaired omphaloceles.
