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

aimTo assess mid-/long-term postoperative quality of life (QOL) of esophageal atresia (EA) patients.

methodsModified gastrointestinal quality-of-life index surveys were administered to postoperative EA patients who were at least 7 years old at evaluation to assess three topics about general lifestyle (GL), five topics about EA, and four topics about mental health (MH). For MH, caregivers were also interviewed, but separately. Subjects were divided according to age: children (7-12 years old), teenagers (13-19), and adults (20 and over) and compared according to Foker or Kimura elongation (FK) or bougienage stretching (BS).

resultsThere were 22 patients evaluated. Responses for GL, EA, and MH did not differ significantly between age groups, but MH responses by caregivers for subjects who were children or teenagers scored significantly lower than responses they made themselves. For primary esophageal elongation technique (PET), age at esophagoesophagostomy was significantly higher in FK. Despite FK scoring 15.1 versus 12.4 for BS during EA evaluation, this difference was not statistically significant.

conclusionChanges in QOL responses according to age were unremarkable. However, discrepancies in MH indicate that subjects felt better than their caregivers thought. PET did not appear to influence QOL.
