Comparison of two types of colectomy in treating slow transit constipation with or without melanosis coli.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimTo compare the follow-up outcomes of ileosigmoidal anastomosis (ISA) and caecorectal anastomosis (CRA) in patients with slow transit constipation (STC) with or without melanosis coli (MC).
methodsWe collected the clinical data of 48 STC patients with or without MC from May 2002 to May 2007. Twenty-six patients underwent CRA (14 with MC) and 22 cases received ISA (14 with MC). A 3-year postoperative follow-up was conducted.
resultsCRA improved the quality of life [evaluated by the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI)] in patients without MC, but was inferior to ISA in stool frequency and Wexner and GIQLI scores for MC patients. In the CRA group, patients with MC suffered worse outcomes than those without MC.
conclusionCRA is more suitable for STC patients without MC; however, for STC patients with MC, ISA is a better choice.
