Retrospective cohort study of minimally invasive surgical approaches for pediatric intussusception.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Intussusception is a common pediatric emergency that causes significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- to middle-income countries. The laparoscopic management of intussusception following failed non-invasive methods remains a topic of debate. This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of minimally invasive approaches for intussusception. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery for intussusception between January 2016 and December 2020 at our institution. Data on patient demographics, pre-operative and intra-operative variables, immediate postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and long-term results were collected. A total of 181 patients underwent minimally invasive surgery, including 117 boys (64.6%) and 64 girls (35.4%), with a median age of 8 months (range: 2-134). The median hospital stay was 4 days. Thirty-nine patients underwent trans-umbilical mini-open reduction (MO group), while 142 had laparoscopic exploration after failed air enema reduction. Among them, 40 had successful laparoscopic reduction (LAP group), and 102 required conversion to laparoscopic-assisted mini-open reduction (LAMO group). No intra-operative or immediate postoperative complications were observed. Recurrence occurred in 13 patients (7.2%) after a median follow-up of 43 months, with 6 patients (3.3%) requiring laparoscopic adhesiolysis due to bowel adhesions. In conclusion, minimally invasive surgery for intussusception is a safe and feasible approach with excellent long-term outcomes.
