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: Surgical intervention after air enema for paediatric intussusception is very common, and prompt surgical treatment after failure of air enema therapy is the key to reducing serious complications, such as intestinal perforation and intestinal necrosis caused by intussusception. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model for surgical intervention after air enema in paediatric intussusception to reduce the incidence of serious complications. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 843 children who were successfully reduced by air enema and 120 children who underwent surgical intervention after air enema in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2021. Baseline information, clinical presentation and test results of the children on admission were recorded. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for surgical intervention after air enema for paediatric intussusception. Meanwhile, we developed a predictive model to predict surgical intervention after air enema for paediatric intussusception based on independent risk factors and validated the model using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Age, duration of symptoms, bloody stools, body temperature, lymphocyte percentage and basophil percentage were independently associated with the composite endpoint ( Conclusions: Our predictive model for surgical intervention after air enema in pediatric intussusception, developed using objectively measurable indicators, demonstrates reliable predictive capability. It provides clinicians with an effective and dependable tool for early decision-making regarding post-enema treatment strategies-whether to continue with enema or proceed to surgery.
