Comparison of laparoscopic and open ileocecal resection for Crohn's disease in children.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeIleocecal resection (ICR) is the most frequently performed surgery in paediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The aim of the study was to compare laparoscopic-assisted and open ICR.
methodsRetrospective review of consecutive CD patients undergoing ICR between March 2014 and December 2021 was performed. The patients were divided into open (OG) and laparoscopic (LG) groups. Compared parameters included patients' demographics, clinical characteristics, surgery, duration of hospitalisation and follow-up. Complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDc). Risk factors were identified using multivariable analysis.
resultsSixty-two patients (29 females, 46.7%) were included in the analysis, forty-two patients in OG. The median duration of surgery was 130 in OG versus 148 in LG (p = 0.065) minutes. Postoperative complications were reported in 4 patients (12.1%). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications according to CDc (OG 7.14 vs LG 5%, p = 1). The median length of hospitalisation was 8 in OG and 7 days in LG (p = 0.0005). The median length of follow-up was 21.5 months.
conclusionThe laparoscopic-assisted approach had shorter hospital stay and was not associated with increased risk of 30-day postoperative complications. Laparoscopic surgery should be considered the preferred surgical approach for primary ICR.
