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

purposeAlimentary tract duplication involving the rectum (ATD-R) is rare. The purpose of the study was to describe the features of pediatric ATD-R patients and propose a surgical management strategy.

methodsNine consecutive children operated on for ATD-R at a tertiary center for pediatrics from January 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed and followed up. Eighty-six children with the same diagnosis from the literature were reviewed to assist the investigation. Classifications of ATD-R consisted of cystic, tubular, and diverticular.

resultsSurgical treatment and histopathological examination identified six females and three males with ATD-R. Initial clinical symptoms included perianal lesions, abnormal discharge, and anorectal malformation (ARM). Apart from one tubular ATD-R patient with cloaca malformation, the other eight patients had normal-developed anorectum. Complete or partial lesion resection maintaining the integrity of the proper colorectum was a principle of surgery. Six patients were followed up for a median time of 71 (range 12-121) months with good prognoses. A surgical management strategy of ATD-R in children was proposed.

conclusionsATD-R commonly occurred concurrently with normal-developed anorectum, seldom combined with ARM. ATD-R should be considered as a differential diagnosis in anorectal symptoms. The timely and appropriate operation was curative.
