Minimally Invasive Open Cystogastrostomy for Giant Pancreatic Pseudocyst in Pediatric Patients.

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
Open cystogastrostomy is the standard treatment for the operative management of pancreatic pseudocysts. We describe our technique of minimally invasive open cystogastrostomy for giant pediatric pancreatic pseudocyst. Preoperative incision marking on the most prominent part of the pseudocyst was done by ultrasound guidance. A transverse incision of approximately 3-4 cm was made, and a minilaparotomy was performed. Stay sutures were applied on the anterior wall of the stomach. The anterior wall was exteriorized; transverse gastrotomy was performed, and superior and inferior flaps were made. Deaver's retractor was placed inside the lumen, and cystogastrostomy was completed. We employed this technique in five male patients without any complications. All patients were allowed clear liquids on postoperative day 4 or 5; and gradually shifted to a soft diet. The mean duration of postoperative stay was 7 days. The size of the scar ranged from 3 to 5 cm. All patients were doing well on follow-up. Our technique of minimally invasive open cystogastrostomy is a viable option for pancreatic pseudocyst in pediatric patients.
