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

Objectives: To analyze the risk factors for postoperative Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) and establish a nomogram to predict the incidence of HAEC. Methods: All patients with Hirschsprung disease who underwent definitive surgery at Fujian Provincial Children's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2023 were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of chylous ascites and a nomogram was established. The predictive performance of the nomogram was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA) curves. Results: Of the included 204 patients, 53 patients (25.9%) experienced postoperative HAEC. Preoperative HAEC, the type of HSCR (long-segment or total colonic aganglionosis), no-preoperative bowel preparation, and anastomotic leaks or strictures were considered important risk factors. The area under the ROC curve of the model is 0.79, the nomogram has great discriminative ability, calibration and significant clinical utility. Conclusion: We found a nomogram for predicting the postoperative HAEC. It can be used as a reference for risk assessment and early detection of postoperative HAEC.
