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

objectiveVentral rectopexy is a validated treatment for rectal prolapse with a low morbidity rate but a risk of intrarectal mesh migration. The purpose of this study was to report the results of local transanal mesh excision for intrarectal mesh migration after ventral rectopexy.

methodsBetween January 2004 and March 2011, 312 patients underwent laparoscopic ventral rectopexy in two hospitals. Six patients were treated for intrarectal mesh migration.

resultsDelay between ventral rectopexy and the onset of symptoms was 53 months (4-124 months). All patients have symptoms. Imaging revealed a pelvic abscess in two cases. Intrarectal mesh migration was confirmed by anorectoscopy or clinical examination. Five patients were only treated by local transanal partial mesh excision, and one required a colostomy. Morbidity and mortality were zero. The median hospitalization time was 5 days (3-8 days). After a median postoperative follow-up period of 9 months (1-40 months), one recurrence was observed 2 months after surgery.

conclusionLocal transanal mesh excision for intrarectal mesh migration after laparoscopic ventral rectopexy is a feasible conservative treatment. This simple treatment produced a cure of the pelvic inflammation and closure of the fistula without compromising a more aggressive secondary treatment which was not necessary in our series.
