Little Patients Big Discoveries: Potential Pediatric to Adult Neurogastroenterology Translation.
Review in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2025. 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
Pediatric neurogastroenterology conditions, including disorders of gut-brain interaction and motility disorders, affect millions of children worldwide. Owing to limited pediatric data, reference ranges and management are often extrapolated from adult studies. We review 4 pediatric neurogastroenterology areas where clinical science may translate and inform adult gastroenterology. Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency can be diagnosed through disaccharidase enzyme testing from duodenal mucosal biopsies. Dietary restriction and sacrosidase supplementation are effective, based on randomized controlled trials, in children with genetic sucrase-isomaltase deficiency; however, they remain to be rigorously studied in adults. Gastric emptying breath testing in large cohorts of children reinforces the importance of biological sex, puberty, and size while deriving normative reference values. Further study of gastric emptying breath testing in adults may help determine the influence of sex and hormones on gastric emptying rates, offering an opportunity to develop tailored reference ranges. Antegrade continence enema therapy is the most common reversible surgical treatment for children with chronic constipation, with high rates of efficacy. Few studies have investigated the efficacy of antegrade continence enema in adult populations. Auricular neurostimulation through percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation is US Food and Drug Administration approved for use in adolescents with irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia based on sham-controlled, randomized trials with emerging efficacy data in other pediatric disorders of gut-brain interaction. To date, efficacy studies using auricular neurostimulation in adults with gastrointestinal disorders have not been performed. These areas highlight how pediatric neurogastroenterology generates discoveries with the potential to guide approaches in adult populations, underscoring the bidirectional value of translational clinical science.
