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

Disorders of the anorectum and pelvic floor affect approximately 25% of the population. Their evaluation and treatment have been hindered by a lack of understanding of underlying mechanism(s) and a working knowledge of the diagnostic advances in this field. A meticulous evaluation of anorectal structure and its function can provide invaluable insights to the practicing gastroenterologist regarding the pathogenic mechanism(s) of these disorders. Also, significant new knowledge has emerged over the past decade that includes the development of newer diagnostic tools such as high-resolution manometry and magnetic resonance defecography as well as a better delineation of the clinical and pathophysiologic subtypes of constipation and incontinence. This article provides an up-to-date review on the role of diagnostic tests in the evaluation of fecal incontinence and constipation with dyssynergic defecation.
