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

backgroundCongenital intestinal malrotation (CIM) is manifested in anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract. This study investigated the efficacy of the programmed laparoscopic Ladd's procedure based on abnormal anatomical landmarks when treating CIM in neonates.

methodsThe clinical data of patients with CIM treated between September 2019 and September 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. During the procedure, the splenic colon was used as a reference to restore the intestinal tube, the colon was released to the middle colon vein, the duodenum was released and exposed to become an abdominal organ, the mesentery root was widened, and the pancreas head to appendix root distance was measured.

resultsThirty-seven patients underwent the programmed procedure (22 males and 15 females). The neonates' condition was stable and without strangulation obstruction. The median operating age was 6 (2-27) days, the weight was 2946.49 ± 346.11g, the midgut volvulus was 360-720°, the reset time was 10.49 ± 3.98 min, the pancreas head to appendix root distance was 5.44 ± 0.32 cm, and the operating time was 94.32 ± 17.64 min. No mesenteric vascular injury or conversion to laparotomy was recorded. The postoperative enteral nutrition support time was 10.30 ± 2.07 days. There were no recurrences or intestinal obstructions during a follow-up of 12 to 48 months.

conclusionThe programmed laparoscopic Ladd's surgical procedure based on abnormal anatomic landmarks for treating neonatal CIM could improve surgical safety, reduce subsidiary injury after grasping the key points, and result in quick recovery and aesthetic appearance.
