Intussusception among Children Admitted in a Department of Pediatric Surgery of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Intussusception is the second most common cause of acute abdominal pain in infants and preschool children. The aetiology for intussusception is idiopathic at this age. Hydrostatic reduction and exploratory laparotomy with proceed are the options for the management of intussusception. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of intussusception among patients admitted to the Department of Pediatric Surgery of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among admitted patients in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of a tertiary care centre after ethical approval from the Ethical Committee (Reference number: A37-77/78). Data were collected from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020 from admitted children aged 6 months to 5 years of age. Data collection was done from the hospital record section using the convenience sampling method. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 1785 admitted patients, 267 (14.96%) (13.31-16.61, 95% Confidence Interval) were found to have intussusception. Among them, the hydrostatic reduction was successful in 246 (92.13%). Meanwhile, 21 (7.86%) of cases underwent laparotomy. The peak age of patients was seen in 148 (55.43%) in the age group of 1-3 years. Conclusions: Intussusception is one of the common surgical emergencies in children. Hydrostatic reduction of intussusception is a simple and effective method for the treatment of intussusception in children. Keywords: intussusception; laparotomy; paediatrics; prevalence; ultrasound.
