Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome: don't forget the bladder.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeMegacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a well described clinical condition, but reports are focused on microcolon and intestinal hypoperistalsis, while data on bladder management are scant. Aim of the study is to present urological concerns in MMIHS.
methodsRetrospective evaluation of clinical data on urological management of MMIHS patients treated in the last 10 years.
resultsSix patients were enrolled (3 male, 3 female). Three girls had prenatal diagnosis of megacystis (1 vesicoamniotic shunt was placed). All patients had genetic diagnosis: 5 had ACTG2 gene mutations and 1 MYH11 mutation. All patients were addressed to our attention for urinary symptoms, such as urinary retention, urinary tract infections, acute renal injury. Two patients presented frequent stoma prolapses. All children underwent a complete urological evaluation, and then started a bladder management protocol (clean intermittent catheterization, via urethra or cystostomy-tube placement), with improvement of urinary infections, upper urinary tract dilation and stoma prolapses, if present. All patients had good renal function at last follow-up.
conclusionWe believe that MMIHS patients must be addressed soon and before onset of symptoms for a multidisciplinary evaluation, including an early assessment by a pediatric urologist expert in functional disorder, to preserve renal function at its best.
