Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction for recurrent intussusception in children: a retrospective analysis of 215 cases.

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
objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction in treating recurrent intussusception in children.
methodsMedical records of patients with recurrent intussusception treated by ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction at Wuhan Children's Hospital from July 2019 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patient gender, age, recurrence frequency, and reduction success rates were observed.
resultsFrom July 2019 to May 2024, a total of 3,084 children underwent ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction at Wuhan Children's Hospital. Of these, 2,961 cases achieved successful reduction (success rate: 96.0%) and 123 cases experienced reduction failure (failure rate: 4.0%). During hospitalization, 215 patients developed recurrence (recurrence rate: 7.3%). These 215 patients with recurrence were enrolled in the present study, including 156 males and 59 females, aged 0.59-10.42 years (mean 3.04 years). The number of recurrences during hospitalization ranged from 1 to 9 times (average 1.73 times). The distribution of recurrence frequency was as follows: 143 patients (66.5%) experienced 1 recurrences, 32 patients (14.9%) had 2 recurrences, 19 patients (8.8%) had 3 recurrences, and 21 patients (9.8%) had 4 or more recurrences. All patients underwent successful ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction without significant secondary factors identified, and none required surgical exploration.
conclusionUltrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction is safe and effective for recurrent intussusception in children. In the absence of obvious secondary factors, enema reduction may be considered as a preferred first-line treatment for recurrent intussusception to avoid unnecessary surgical exploration.
