Multi-disciplinary care in patients with complex pediatric general and thoracic surgical pathology: lessons learned from a 20-year experience.
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 1 paper.
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
purposeComplex pediatric surgery patients with thoracic tumors invading the mediastinum and infradiaphragmatic tumors extending into the chest are at risk for surgical morbidity and mortality if the patient's care is not coordinated. We sought to identify areas of focus when managing these patients to improve care.
methodsA 20-year, retrospective study of pediatric patients with complex surgical pathology was performed. Demographic data, pre-operative characteristics, intraoperative data, complications, and outcomes data were collected. Three index cases were highlighted to provide granularity in patient management.
resultsTwenty-six patients were identified. Common pathology included mediastinal teratomas, foregut duplications, advanced Wilms tumors, hepatoblastoma, and lung masses. All cases were performed in a multidisciplinary fashion. All cases were done with pediatric cardiothoracic surgery and three cases (11.5%) required pediatric otolaryngology. Eight patients (30.7%) required cardiopulmonary bypass. Operative and 30-day mortality was zero.
conclusionsManagement of complex pediatric surgical patients requires a multidisciplinary approach throughout the patient's hospital course. This multidisciplinary team should meet in advance of a patient's procedure to create a customized care plan that may include pre-operative optimization. At the time of their procedure, all necessary and emergency equipment should available. This approach improves patient safety and has resulted in excellent outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
