Factors associated with failure of hydrostatic reduction in children with ileocolic intussusception.
Article in BMC 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThere remains controversy regarding the risk factors for failed hydrostatic enema reduction; therefore, we aimed to identify additional factors associated with unsuccessful hydrostatic enema reduction in children with ileocolic intussusception.
methodsThis study was conducted retrospectively in two tertiary centers. Data were collected from patient charts or electronic medical records and consisted of pediatric intussusception cases treated with hydrostatic reduction during January 2021 and January 2025. Univariate and multivariate analyses, incorporating stepwise logistic regression, were conducted.
resultsTwo hundred thirty-one patients with ileocolic-type intussusception were included and treated by ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction at two different institutions. Hydrostatic reduction was successful in 199 patients (86.2%), failed in 32 (13.8%). All patients were successfully discharged with uneventful recoveries. On multivariate analysis, under 12-month-old(OR = 58.106,P < 0.001 95%CI,14.166-238.338),an Onset of symptoms>48 h (OR = 7.070,P = 0.014 95%CI,1.491-33.517), previous history of intussusception (OR = 42.721, P < 0.001 95%CI,5.729-318.572), constipation (OR = 31.488, P < 0.001 95%CI,5.597-177.137), and bowel Wall Thickening on US(OR = 8.177, P = 0.015 95%CI,1.513-43.553) were significantly associated with failed hydrostatic enema reduction.
conclusionsAn age of under 1 year, previous history of intussusception, onset of symptoms, constipation, and bowel wall thickening on US were risk factors for failed hydrostatic reduction of ileocolic intussusception. Older children with long-term recurrent intussusception are at high risk of pathological leading points(PLPs) and hydrostatic reduction failure, requiring close pediatric surgical attention. Patients with these findings warrant early surgical consultation or transfer to a facility with pediatric surgical capabilities.
