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

aimsMany procedures have been described for the treatment of rectal internal mucosal prolapse (RMP), but the therapeutic effect is questionable. This work is to evaluate clinical and functional outcome of a modified Delorme's operation-trans-anal purse-string sutures for rectal mucosa and submucosa (TAS) for the treatment of RMP.

methodsThe clinical data of 58 patients with rectal mucosal prolapse treated with rectal mucosa and submucosal tissue (TAS) between June 2004 and June 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.

resultsNo patient died. Satisfaction with surgery was high in 48 cases (82.8%), moderate in seven (12.1%), and low in three (5.17%). Prolapse relapse rate was 5.17%. Anal tenesmus and urge to defecate resolved in 52 (89.7%) patients. Constipation improved in 25 of 28 (89.3%) previously constipated patients. No surgery-associated constipation occurred. The mean operative time was 31 (range 22-46) min. Mean hospital stay was 3 days (range 2-6). Mean patient follow-up was 32 months (range 12-60).

conclusionsFrom our data, TAS for the treatment of RMP showed encouraging results with little complications and an acceptable relapse rate. This economical procedure induces only mild trauma and is easy to perform, making it worthy of further practice and investigation.
