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

purposeWe evaluated the efficacy of oral administration of a mixture of diosmin, coumarin glycosides, and Centella asiatica (Venoplant®) in preventing bleeding, pain, and thrombosis of internal and external hemorrhoids after stapled anopexy (SA).

methodsSA was conducted in 182 patients with third-degree hemorrhoids. Preoperatively, patients were randomized evenly into two groups. Group A patients were administered Venoplant for 30 days post-SA, and group B received a placebo for 30 days post-SA. Patients received paracetamol for postoperative pain. Visit (v)1, v2, and v3 took place 7, 15, and 30 days postoperatively, respectively; bleeding (clinical examination), visual analog scale (VAS), thrombosis (clinical examination), and pain (paracetamol dosage, VAS) were evaluated.

resultsAt v1, v2, and v3, the numbers of patients with bleeding in groups A and B were 21 and 46, 3 and 25, and 1 and 5, respectively (p < 0.05). At v1, v2, and v3, the numbers of patients in groups A and B with thrombosed internal hemorrhoids were 3 and 13, 2 and 11, and 1 and 8, respectively (p < 0.05). The number of patients who took at least one paracetamol tablet was similar in both groups at v1 but was significantly greater in group B than group A at v2 and v3 (p < 0.05); pain VAS scores were equivalent at v1 and significantly greater in group B than group A at v2 and v3 (p < 0.05).

conclusionsVenoplant effectively reduced bleeding after SA, decreased the incidence of thrombosed internal hemorrhoids, and decreased postoperative pain.
