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

Anterior rectocele is a common morphological condition in patients with obstructive defecation syndrome. Typical symptoms include incomplete evacuation, transanal or transvaginal digitation and soiling, which is frequently interpreted as fecal incontinence. Diagnosis of rectocele is made clinically and functional assessment of rectocele can be performed by dynamic imaging, e.g. by magnetic resonance (MR) defecography. Primary treatment should be conservative. Concerning surgical treatment, transanal, transperineal, transvaginal and transabdominal procedures are available. Evidence-based guidelines for surgical treatment are still lacking. The question whether rectocele is a cause or a consequence of obstructive defecation syndrome remains controversial. Accordingly, indications for surgical correction of rectocele should be considered with caution.
