Gastroparesis syndrome following thoracoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair in a pediatric patient: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
We present a rare case of postoperative gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) in a 10-year-old girl following thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The patient presented to our institution with a 20-day history of intermittent abdominal pain and vomiting. Thoracoabdominal computed tomography revealed a posterolateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Emergency thoracoscopic diaphragmatic repair was performed, after which the patient developed gastroparesis syndrome. The child was given continuous nasogastric suction, prokinetic therapy with domperidone, and acupressure massage at the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint. On the 38th day after the operation, the child was able to remove the nasal-gastric tube and resume normal diet. CDH is typically diagnosed and managed during infancy, with postoperative complications predominantly involving pulmonary hypertension and chronic lung disease. The occurrence of PGS following CDH repair is exceedingly rare. This report reviews the relevant literature to enhance clinicians' awareness of this complication and improve patient outcomes.
