Clinical efficacy of the laparoscopic modified Soave procedure for Hirschsprung's disease: a comparative retrospective cohort study.

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: Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is the second most common congenital gastrointestinal malformation, posing a significant health concern in pediatrics. The laparoscopic modified Soave procedure, a minimally invasive technique, has gained popularity due to its potential advantages. This study aimed to evaluate its clinical efficacy in comparison with the traditional transanal Soave procedure. Methods: This comparative retrospective cohort study included children with HSCR treated at Qilu Hospital between January 2014 and January 2024. The patients were divided into the following two groups: the Laparoscopic group (those who underwent the laparoscopic modified Soave procedure) and the Transanal group (those who underwent the transanal Soave procedure). The assessed outcomes included postoperative recovery metrics, complication rates, and 1-year follow-up results. Results: In total, 96 patients were included in the study. Compared with the Transanal group, the Laparoscopic group demonstrated reduced surgical time, faster gastrointestinal recovery, and reduced hospital stay duration ( Conclusion: The laparoscopic modified Soave procedure demonstrated superior clinical efficacy compared to the transanal approach, offering faster recovery and a trend toward fewer complications. These findings support its wider adoption as a minimally invasive treatment option for HSCR.
