Defecation disorders: neuromuscular aspects and treatment.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
Chronic constipation and fecal incontinence affect 20% of the population and are more prevalent in women, the elderly, those of lower socioeconomic status, and nursing home residents. These disorders pose a significant economic burden and affect quality of life. During the past decade, significant strides have been made in the understanding and treatment of defecation disorders, which have led to real advances in the management of these disorders. These treatments include biofeedback therapy, tegaserod, and lubiprostone for chronic constipation.
