Surgical decision making in late-presenting Hirschsprung's disease: direct pull-though or stoma first.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Aim of the study: To evaluate the use of staged vs. one-stage surgical management for Hirschsprung's disease (HSD) in older children. Methods: In total, 30 patients were diagnosed with HSD and all cases were confirmed by rectal biopsy. For treatment, rectal irrigation was carried out for two months to achieve colonic decompression; treatment failure occurred in 15 cases due to decompressed colons. In these cases, colostomy or ileostomy were carried out according to the distal or proximal site of the transitional zone to the transverse colon. After two months, eight cases of Laparoscopic Duhamel and seven cases of laparoscopic-aided Swenson were performed. Results: An anal dilation program was done three weeks after pull-through. Postoperatively, there were three cases of Swenson cases stenosis and two cases of enterocolitis that responded to conservative treatment and one case of fecal incontinence. In Duhamel cases, we had three cases of constipation and three cases of enterocolitis, with no anastomotic leak cases. Four cases of stomal prolapse and skin excoriation occurred. Conclusion: Both staged and single-staged procedures are safe options for the management of hirshspung's disease in older children.
