Prospective evaluation of same day versus next day colon manometry results in children with medical refractory constipation.
Article in Neurogastroenterology and motility, 2017. 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
backgroundWe evaluated the change in colon manometry (CM) parameters and interpretation comparing results when the study is performed the same day after the motility catheter is placed under anesthesia or the following day.
methodsCM catheter was placed with colonoscopy under anesthesia and recorded on day 1 and repeated on day 2. Study parameters including motility index during fasting, post-prandial and post-Bisacodyl challenge phase; gastrocolonic response; number, presence and propagation of high amplitude propagating contractions (HAPCs); and, study interpretation were compared between both the days. KEY
resultsMotility index (fasting, post-Bisacodyl phase, P<.05), HAPC number (10.1 vs 6.6, P=.01) and the proportion of patients having HAPCs (92% vs 70%, P=.002) was significantly higher on day 2 vs day 1. HAPC propagation improved on day 2 vs day 1 (fully propagated, 49% vs 37%; partially propagated, 43% vs 33%; absent 8% vs 30%). Study interpretation changed from day 1 to day 2. On day 1, 37% had a normal study and 63% had an abnormal study. On day 2, all patients with a normal study on day 1 remained normal, and patients with an abnormal study on day 1, 53% remained abnormal and 47% had a normal study. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: CM parameters are affected the day the catheter is placed with colonoscopy under anesthesia. The number, presence, and propagation of HAPCs were significantly higher/improved on day 2 compared to day 1. Overall, CM interpretation changed from abnormal to normal from day 1 to day 2 in 47% of the patients.
