Long-term quality of life after ileal pouch anal restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) has evolved as the surgical procedure of choice for ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of our study was to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of UC patients who underwent this procedure over 5 years ago. Thirty-nine UC patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA were interviewed by the validated inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ). Each patient was assigned a score, ranging from 32 to 224, in which the highest score indicates the best QOL. QOL for postoperative patients was good in 15 (38.5 %), regular in 23 (59 %), and bad in 1 (2.6 %) patient. QOL was not significantly influenced by age or gender of the patient. The emotional aspect received the highest score in the IBDQ and for each question that was analyzed separately; most of the patients were pleased and thankful with their lives and this question received the highest score. Long-term QOL was good in UC patients who underwent IPAA. This operation should be considered as the first choice since the patients were stable after long-term follow up.
