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
introductionRecurrent rectal mucosal prolapse in pediatric patients poses a therapeutic challenge, particularly when conventional treatments like sclerotherapy fail. This case series evaluates the Transanal Endorectal Pull-Through (Soave) procedure as a surgical alternative for children unresponsive to sclerotherapy, emphasizing its ability to preserve sacral plexus integrity. CASE PRESENTATION: Three pediatric cases (6.5-, 10.5-, and 14-year-old boys) with chronic constipation and recurrent rectal mucosal prolapse, unresponsive to sclerotherapy, underwent the Soave procedure. Hospital stays lasted 7-8 days, with no intra- or postoperative complications. Follow-ups at 6-12 months showed no recurrence, resolution of constipation, and high guardian satisfaction. DISCUSSION: The Soave procedure demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating recurrent rectal mucosal prolapse, with no recurrences or complications over one year. Unlike rectopexy, which risks constipation and incontinence, the Soave procedure preserves rectal integrity, minimizing pelvic trauma. Despite limitations such as small sample size and short follow-up, findings align with literature supporting minimally invasive techniques. Further research, including multicenter studies with larger sample sizes, is needed to confirm long-term outcomes.
conclusionThe Soave procedure is a promising surgical option for recurrent rectal mucosal prolapse in children unresponsive to sclerotherapy, offering reduced recurrence and complications. Larger, long-term studies are essential to validate its efficacy.
