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

introductionColectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become widely accepted and is now considered the procedure of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) as well as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). DISCUSSION: The clear patient advantage of functional continence has pushed this procedure to the forefront in treating both UC and FAP. As a result, the procedure continues to evolve with recent debate centering on the question of whether to perform a double-stapled technique without rectal mucosectomy or a handsewn anastomosis following transanal mucosectomy. Although continence and complication rates continue to be hotly debated, it is understood that performing the stapled procedure does leave a rectal cuff, which carries with it the possibility of disease persistence or recurrence. As such, if the rectal cuff becomes symptomatic or dysplastic, it must be removed. This is accomplished by performing a transanal completion mucosectomy and reconstructing the ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
