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

objectivesPediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction (PIPO) management is based on nutritional, medical, and surgical care while available evidence is scarce. The aim of this study was to outline the current diagnostic and management strategies in intestinal failure (IF) teams of the European Reference Network for rare Inherited and Congenital Anomalies (ERNICA) and to compare these practices to the latest PIPO international guidelines.

methodsAn online survey on institutional diagnostic and management strategies of PIPO was conducted among the ERNICA IF teams.

resultsIn total, 11 of 21 ERNICA IF centers from 8 countries participated. On average, 64% of teams had ≥6 and 36% had 1-5 PIPO patients under active follow-up. In total, 80 of 102 PIPO patients were parenteral nutrition (PN) dependent while each IF team had median 4 (range 0-19) PN dependent PIPO patients under follow-up. On average, each center received 1-2 new PIPO patients per year. Diagnostics mostly followed current guidelines while medical and surgical management strategies were diverse.

conclusionsNumbers of PIPO patients are low and management strategies are diverse among ERNICA IF teams. To improve PIPO patient care, regional reference centers with specialized multidisciplinary IF teams and continuous collaboration across centers are needed.
