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

A 17-year-old male with chronic constipation presented with acute obstipation and abdominal distension. Computed tomography showed a dilated colon with rectosigmoid transition. Initial laparotomy and segmental resection confirmed Hirschsprung disease (HD) on histopathology. One month later, he re-presented with abdominal distension. Urgent total colectomy and ileostomy were performed. He recovered after ICU care and was discharged with a functioning ileostomy. This case underscores complications of incomplete resection in adult HD and the need for vigilant follow-up.
