[Reconstructive surgery after anterior resection of the rectum].
Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Sphincter preservation is a goal in the treatment of rectal cancer and should be considered in all patients with intact analsphincter. For tumors of the upper rectum, this is easily achieved by end-to-end decendorectostomy. Total mesorectal excision is obligatory for tumors of the mid and lower third of the rectum. Reconstruction of intestinal continuity can be achieved by colonal anastomosis, if the oncologic situation allows a sphincter-preserving procedure. Creation of a colonic J-pouch can improve functional results. This leads to a reduction of stool frequency and urgency without negative effects on continence and complication rate. The functional effects are maximal during the initial months, but are still significant up to 9 years postoperatively. The pouch should not exceed a length of 6 cm in order to prevent evacuation disorders. The transverse coloplasty pouch may allow pouch reconstruction in patients in whom this is currently impossible, but long-term follow-up is not yet available.
