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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the risk factors of intestinal necrosis in children with intussusception and intestinal necrosis was established.

methodsThe clinical data of children diagnosed with intestinal necrosis after surgical treatment in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed and assigned to the bowel necrosis group.A control group was established treated successfully with air enema, without bowel necrosis, during the same period. Ultrasonic manifestation and clinical features were recorded and analyzed. Factors associated with bowel necrosis were analyzed using univariate and multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses.

results(1) The bowel necrosis group included a higher proportion of children under 12 months of age, and had more cases with blood flow signal < grade 4, peritoneal effusion, and bloody stools (P < 0.05) than the non-intestinal necrosis group. The values for roundness, concentric ring thickness, length of the intussuscepted segment, head-to-neck diameter ratio, bowel wall thickness, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ( NLR) were all higher in the bowel necrosis group (P < 0.05). (2) The logistic regression analysis indicated that roundness (×100) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.397, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.086-1.796] and blood flow signal (< grade 4) (OR = 0.099, 95% CI: 0.018-0.543) were independent predictors of bowel necrosis in intussusception.

conclusionsRoundness and blood flow signal grading are independent predictors for diagnosing bowel necrosis in pediatric intussusception.
