1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study compared the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of single-port laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (SPCH) between neonates and older infants and children to determine whether early surgical intervention in the neonatal period carries additional operative risks or offers comparable outcomes to the current standard of care. Methods: A retrospective comparative cohort study was conducted on children who underwent SPCH between March 2020 and June 2024. Perioperative data, including operative time, blood loss, complications, and postoperative hospitalization were analyzed. Results: A total of 70 patients were included, comprising 21 neonates (≤28 days) and 49 older infants/children (>28 days). Neonates had larger cyst diameters without statistical significance (5.49 vs. 4.49 cm, Conclusion: For neonatal CDC, SPCH is a practical and secure solution offering cosmetic benefits without increasing procedural risks. Neonatal anatomical features facilitate technical success, though heightened postoperative surveillance requirements account for longer hospitalization.
