Outcomes of Ambulatory Pediatric Surgical Care Provision in a Conflict Affected Population in Kakuma Refugee Camp During a Measles Outbreak.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Introduction and objectives: In 2023, Kakuma refugee camp experienced measles outbreaks leading to delayed provision of pediatric surgical care. Our objective was to assess postoperative outcomes following the implementation of a new protocol to minimize pediatric surgical patient exposure to measles. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed ambulatory pediatric surgical care in Kakuma refugee camp to determine demographic information, diagnoses and procedures done, and postoperative outcomes following implementation of the new protocol. Results: We conducted a total of 28 ambulatory pediatric procedures. All 25 patients had received their measles vaccine preoperatively (100%); 35.7% of the procedures were inguinal hernia repairs, 50 % were hydrocele repairs, and 10.71% were umbilical hernia repairs. There were no postoperative deaths, cases of measles, and no surgical site infections (0%). Conclusion: Ambulatory pediatric surgical care provision is feasible in the refugee context during a measles outbreak, and the outcomes were comparable to other settings.
