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

backgroundThe coloproctomucosectomy (CPM) is the procedure of the choice for the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). In cases with pronounced immunosuppression (IS), a 3-step (3S) procedure [i.e., subtotal colectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and finally ileostomy reconstruction] is often selected. Fewer perioperative complications can be expected compared to the 2-step (2S) procedure; however, an additional in-hospital stay and surgical intervention are necessary. The aim of the present study was to compare both approaches using the clinical outcome of our patients undergoing IPAA to determine efficacy of these two concepts. PATIENTS AND

methodsFrom 1997-2010, a total of 225 patients were operated using a 2S or 3S IPAA procedure. Clinical outcomes were evaluated based on the number of surgical steps for the ileoanal pouch procedure and IPAA. The survey was performed within the scope of prospective study.

resultsOf the 225 patients with CPM, 66 were excluded due to a diagnosis other than UC (familial adenomatous polyposis, indeterminate colitis, Crohn's disease) and patients with permanent ILS procedures without the possibility or wish for an IPAA (n =  54). Included were 71 patients with 2S (w = 30, m = 41) and 34 patients with 3S procedures (w = 21, m = 13). Compared to the 2S procedure, the 3S procedure was shown to have shorter operation times (246 versus 296 min; p  = 0.05), shorter hospital stays (15.5 versus 24.6 days; p = 0.05), shorter intensive care unit stays (3.3 versus 7.2 days; p = 0.05), and fewer major complications (5.9 % versus 22.5 %; p = 0.035). Patients with 3S procedures had a higher BMI (26.2 versus 23.1 kg/m²; p = 0.05) and fewer required IS (10 % vs. 62 %; p < 0.05).

conclusionThe decision for a 3S procedure in UC and pronounced IS is advisable and justified. Using a 3S procedure, immunosuppression and its influence on perioperative morbidity are thus reduced. The IPAA can be performed with shorter operation times, shorter hospital stays and fewer major complications.
