Anal physiology testing in fecal incontinence: is it of any value?
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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.

Abstract
introductionThe prognostic value of postoperative manometry in fecal incontinence is still controversial. The aims of this study were to establish if Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI) and Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (FIQL) scores correlate with anal manometry and endoanal ultrasound findings and to define if there is any prognostic value in performing anal manometry after patients are surgically treated for fecal incontinence.
methodsFifty-three patients, all women, were identified. All patients underwent a surgical procedure and were analyzed pre- and postoperatively. Fecal incontinence was assessed using the FISI and FIQL. Patients who did not have these score were excluded. Manometry and ultrasound findings before treatment and manometry findings after treatment were compared with surgical patient's incontinence scores. Anal canal length was noted, and its association with the pre- and postoperative manometry finding and incontinence scores were compared.
resultsNo correlation of pre- and postoperative resting and squeeze pressures with incontinence scores was found. Ultrasound findings had no correlation with manometry results and incontinence scores. Anal canal length correlated with both pre- and postoperative manometry findings but not with incontinence scores.
conclusionPreoperative anal manometry and endoanal ultrasound help in guiding treatment options in patients with fecal incontinence. A decrease in FISI and increase in FIQL scores after a sphincter repair quantifies improvement after incontinence surgery, while changes in anal manometry pressures readings do not.
