Bowel function after surgery in male children with complicated anorectal malformations.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Some children may experience defecation dysfunction following surgery for anorectal malformations. This study evaluated the long-term functional outcomes and influencing factors in male children with complicated anorectal malformations (ARMs). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of male children with complicated ARMs who underwent staged surgeries in our hospital from 2013 to 2016. Data collected included ARM type, perianal muscle development, anorectal manometry findings, lumbosacral MRI findings and the intervals between the first and third operation. Bowel function after the operation was assessed by questionnaire (modified Rintala score). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis. Results: Fifty-eight children were included in this study, with a median age at PSARP of 6.7 months. Bowel function did not differ based on anorectal malformations subtype ( Conclusion: The incidence of spinal cord abnormalities in male children with complicated ARMs was high. Spinal cord anomalies and long intervals of the staging operation increased the risk of poor postoperative outcomes.
