Constipation and obstructed defecation.
Article in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05747027 (Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Transvaginal Rectopexy and Ventral Mesh Rectopexy for Obstructed Defecation in Pelvic Organ Prolapse), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
Difficulties with bowel function are common and may be due to several causes including slow colonic transit and obstructed defecation. The anatomical and pathophysiological changes associated with these conditions are varying, often incompletely understood, and in many cases have limited treatment outcomes. Patients present with variable complaints and have previously tried a plethora of over-the-counter medications in an effort to relieve their symptoms. Physicians need an organized approach to manage these patients optimally. Improvements over the past few years in our understanding of the complex process of defecation, along with the increasing use of radiological and anorectal physiology studies, have led to improved treatment results.
