Risk factors of bowel perforation in neonates with Hirschsprung disease.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundBowel perforation is a severe complication in neonates with Hirschsprung disease (HD), particularly during the neonatal period. Identifying risk factors may aid in early detection and intervention.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 300 neonates diagnosed with HD at our hospital from 2007 to 2024. The patients were divided into bowel perforation and non-perforation groups based on whether they developed bowel perforation during the neonatal period. The clinical characteristics of both groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the associated risk factors, including general information, clinical symptoms, examination results, and birth history.
resultsA total of 300 neonates with HD were included in this study, with a bowel perforation rate of 6.0% (18/300). The sites of perforation were the sigmoid colon (44.4%, 8/18), descending colon (27.8%, 5/18), ascending colon (11.1%, 2/18), terminal ileum (11.1%, 2/18), and transverse colon (5.6%, 1/18). The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that age at admission < 5 days, CRP > 20.5 mg/L, and radiographic findings of intestinal wall pneumatosis were independent risk factors for bowel perforation in neonates with HD, with OR (95% CI) of 4.709 (1.187, 18.684), 35.185 (9.394, 131.782), and 9.667 (2.264, 41.278), respectively.
conclusionThe incidence of bowel perforation in neonates with Hirschsprung disease is 6.0%. Bowel perforation in neonates with HD is associated with early age at admission, elevated CRP, and intestinal wall pneumatosis.
