1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: It is controversial when surgery should be performed for pectus excavatum (PE). The study retrospectively compared the long-term prognosis in PE children undergoing the Nuss procedure at the age of 4-6 versus those performing surgery at the age of 12-14. Methods: 178 patients were included in the retrospective real-world research. Clinical Characteristics were collected at baseline. The endpoint of the study was set as the last follow-up at the age of 18 in outpatient services. Satisfaction and complication rate were set as the primary outcome and were collected at the endpoint. Hospital stay post-surgery and analgesia dosage were regard as the secondary outcome. To reduce potential bias between two different age groups, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was analysized. Results: The oral analgesic dosage of children in the 4-6 years old age group is significantly lower than that of the 12-14 years old group (0.70/kg, 0.30-1.50/kg versus 1.50/kg, 0.90-2.30/kg, P < 0.001), and children in the younger age group are discharged earlier. There was no difference in overall satisfaction (89.1 %, versus 88.20 %, P = 0.99) and recurrence rate (7.2 %, versus 6.8 %, P = 0.99) between the two groups of when they reach the age of 18. Conclusions: Performing Nuss procedure at the age of 4-6 does not affect the overall long-term satisfaction of the child or increase the long-term recurrence rate. Surgical intervention in children with pectus excavatum preschool can provide a better postoperative experience in hospital compared with intervention in adolescent.
