Seven-year follow-up after anterior sphincter reconstruction for faecal incontinence.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe aim was to evaluate the effects of anterior sphincter repair on faecal incontinence and quality of life. PATIENTS AND
methodsFifty-six patients who underwent anterior anal sphincteroplasty between January 2003 and December 2005 were asked to complete questionnaires containing the Wexner Incontinence Score (a score of 0 corresponds to full continence and 20 to total incontinence) and Faecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale preoperatively, in May 2006 (mean follow-up time, 22.8 months) and in August 2011 (mean follow-up time, 89.3 months). Thirty-nine (69.6 %) patients completed the questionnaires before the operation and in 2006, and 36 (64.3 %) in 2011.
resultsThe overall severity of faecal incontinence improved in 26 patients (67 %), and quality of life improved in 2006 as a whole, but after a longer follow-up (in 2011), the severity of faecal incontinence was about the same as preoperatively (median, 12.0 months) in all the patients. Among younger patients (≤50 years), the situation was better, but older patients (>50 years) had an even worse situation than before the operation. In the group of younger patients, the preoperative median of the overall incontinence score was 10.5, and in 2011, it was 9.0, while in the group of older patients, the corresponding numbers were 13.0 and 15.0. In 2011, quality of life was still better than preoperatively as a whole, but the results had deteriorated from those in 2006.
conclusionsInitially, both overall faecal incontinence and quality of life improved, but younger patients achieved a greater benefit. However, the results deteriorated with a longer follow-up. Operative management should be considered preferably in relatively young subjects as their results are better.
