Effect of different surgical options on curative effect, nutrition, and health status of patients with slow transit constipation.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the influence of total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) and subtotal colectomy with cecorectal anastomosis (CRA) on curative effects, nutritional status, and health of patients with slow transit constipation (STC).
methodsThe purpose of the present study is to compare the hemoglobin, the total protein level, the albumin, and the percentage of lymphocytes before and after operations. The 36-item short-form health survey questionnaire (SF-36), the mininutritional assessment (MNA), the postoperative general condition questionnaire, and the social activities questionnaire were used. The questionnaires were modified. The patients with higher scores were shown to recover better postoperatively.
resultsMore than 87.5 % of patients in both groups were satisfied with the surgery. Increased stool frequency was improved 6 months after surgery. Antidiarrheal agent use, abdominal pain, and distention in the IRA group were more frequent than in the CRA group (p < 0.05). Postoperative levels of hemoglobin, total protein level, albumin, and percentage of lymphocytes in the IRA group were higher than in the CRA group (p < 0.05). There was no difference in MNA for both groups (p > 0.05). There was no difference in the postoperative general condition questionnaire for both groups (p > 0.05). But the scores for health condition, emotion, and feeling for life were low, only 68.8 to 82.4 % at their highest.
conclusionsSymptoms can be relieved by IRA and CRA surgeries. The postoperative nutritional conditions are fine. Health conditions and social life are affected. Both IRA and CRA surgeries are compliant for the treatment of STC.
