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

objectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and available treatment strategies for reoperation of neonatal high jejunal atresia, and recommend preventive measures to reduce the reoperation rate of high jejunal atresia.

methodsThe clinical data of 16 children with high jejunal atresia who underwent reoperation in the Neonatal Surgery Department at Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsAmong the 16 unplanned reoperations, 7 (43.6%) were performed for functional ileus, 3 (18.8%) for anastomotic stenosis, 3 (18.8%) for adhesive ileus, and 3 (18.8%) for postoperative proximal septum. Surgical procedures for reoperations include duodenoplasty, resection and re-anastomosis of the original anastomosis, resection of the duodenal septum and enterolysis. Among the 16 patients, 1 had short-bowel syndrome that required repeated hospital admission for parenteral nutrition treatment, and 1 patient died of recurrent pneumonia and heart failure after surgery. The other 14 patients recovered from reoperation and were discharged. The patients were followed up from 1 month to 5 years after surgery, and showed good growth.

conclusionFor children with high jejunal atresia, the operative procedure will vary according to each patient's circumstances. If postoperative functional obstruction occurs, a wider range of bowel cutting and re-anastomosis can be performed. During the first operation, the diaphragm at the proximal end of jejunal atresia should not be missed.
