Redo Pull-through in Hirschsprungs Disease - A Meta-Analysis of Outcomes Based on type of Pull-through.

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
Purpose: The meta-analysis investigates the effects of redo pull-through (PT) surgeries on bowel function outcomes in patients with rectosigmoid and long-segment Hirschsprung's disease (HD) who have already undergone an initial PT. By comparing different redo PT techniques, this study explores whether specific approaches yield better postoperative bowel function. Methodology: A literature search was conducted for articles on redo PT for HD; this included PubMed and ScienceDirect databases. The search terms or MeSH words "Hirschsprung disease" OR "congenital megacolon" AND "re-do pull through" OR "re-do" OR "reoperation," connected by two Boolean operators "OR" and "AND," were used to search the databases for relevant articles. Results: Fifteen articles of interest comprising 374 patients receiving redo PT were selected for analysis. The results suggest that selecting a redo PT method tailored to the patient's unique anatomical and surgical history may substantially improve functional outcomes, highlighting the potential for individualized strategies to enhance recovery and long-term quality of life for those requiring reoperation. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Swenson redo PT approach yielded better bowel function outcomes compared to other techniques. While redo PT procedures were effective in reducing fecal incontinence, the incidence of enterocolitis remained consistent across the various approaches.
