Long-Gap Esophageal Atresia Gross Type C and D: A Retrospective Study of Surgical Management and Postoperative Complications Within the First Year of Life in the Nordic Countries.

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
objectiveSeveral surgical approaches are being used in the reconstruction of long-gap esophageal atresia. We investigated which methods are being used in the Nordic countries and the postoperative complications that occurred in the first year of life.
methodsThis study is a retrospective multicenter study, where medical records on children with esophageal atresia Gross type C or D born in the period from 1 January 2000 to 1 May 2017 were reviewed.
resultsForty-four patients were included in this study, forty-three with Gross type C and one with Gross type D. Thirty-six patients were included in the statistical analysis. Delayed esophageal anastomosis was performed in half of the patients and an esophageal replacement procedure in the other half. Postoperative complications were common, but there was no difference in postoperative complications or weight-gain within the first year of life. There were no differences in hospital stay or duration of parenteral nutrition. Attempted primary esophageal anastomosis was significantly more common in patients that underwent an esophageal replacement procedure compared to those who underwent a delayed esophageal anastomosis.
conclusionsNo significant relationship between surgical approach and postoperative complications within the first year of life could be demonstrated. Long-term functional studies are warranted.
