Post-surgical Outcomes of Different Surgical Techniques in Hirschsprung's Disease: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a rare condition that affects newborns and is characterized by the lack of ganglion cells in the colon. Typical symptoms include difficulty passing stool, vomiting, and trouble feeding. Various surgical methods are available to manage the condition. The aim of the study is to investigate and compare the post-surgical outcomes of different surgical techniques used in the treatment of HD. A thorough literature search was conducted using various electronic databases to identify relevant studies to be referred to. Double-blinded screening of the identified articles led to the final selection of 40 out of 440 HD, including transanal endorectal pull-through (TERPT), laparoscopic approaches, and modified techniques. Several studies have investigated surgical procedures for HD, including TERPT, laparoscopic methods, and modified techniques. These have shown positive outcomes, with fewer complications, improved bowel function, and favorable cosmetic results. Individual patient characteristics and surgeon expertise should guide procedure selection. Surgery for HD aims to restore normal bowel function, but post-surgical outcomes can include constipation or fecal incontinence. Complications like enterocolitis, anastomotic stricture, and sphincter damage may occur. Laparoscopic approaches have shorter hospital stays. However long-term follow-up is essential to assess quality of life, psychological well-being, and potential side effects.
