Chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction treated by near total small bowel resection: a 20-year experience.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatients suffering from chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIIPO) clearly benefit from home parenteral nutrition (HPN) to maintain adequate nutritional status and general health. But intestinal dismotility can seriously disturb their quality of life (QOL) to the point of making it intolerable.
aimReport our clinical experience on the management of chronic severe occlusive symptoms in CIIPO by near total small bowel resection.
methodsA 20-year retrospective study of eight patients with end-stage CIIPO maintained on HPN and suffering of chronic occlusive symptoms refractory to medical treatment underwent extensive small bowel resection preserving less than 70 cm of total small bowel and less than 20 cm of ileum. The jejunum was anastomosed either to the ileum or to the colon.
resultsSix patients were completely relieved from obstructive symptoms. Two patients needed a second operation to remove the residual ileum because of recurrent symptoms. Two were significantly improved. There was no post-operative death. All patients experienced a significant improvement in their QOL.
conclusionNear total small bowel resection appears to be a safe and effective procedure in end-stage CIIPO patients, refractory to optimal medical treatment.
