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

Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital anomaly affecting neural crest cell migration and proliferation in the myenteric plexi resulting in dysmotility, which can present as bilious emesis, delayed meconium passage, and bowel obstruction in neonates, or chronic constipation in older children. Depending on the extent of aganglionosis, this disease can involve the whole gut. Treatment involves a temporary ostomy and interval definitive surgical reconstruction. In patients with near or total intestinal aganglionosis, however, there is no consensus on the most effective surgical reconstruction as consideration of the length and function of the normal remnant bowel create concerns for complications with short bowel syndrome post-operatively. We present a case of near-total intestinal aganglionosis highlighting the various options for definitive surgical reconstruction.
