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

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileo-pouch-anal anastomosis is the standard procedure for ulcerative colitis. It provides complete removal of the diseased colorectum, avoids permanent ileostomy and allows the preservation of continence. Functional results and quality of life after restorative proctocolectomy are of great importance. Patients usually have 5-6 bowel movements per day, and continence is satisfactory in more than 90% of patients. A good pouch function strongly correlates with high quality of life. Postoperative septic complications are the main risk factor for bad pouch function and pouch failure; therefore nowadays most procedures are performed with a covering ileostomy. Quality of life is usually impaired by active ulcerative colitis, and restorative proctocolectomy improves the quality of life up to the level of a healthy reference population. Taken together, restorative proctocolectomy provides excellent results concerning function and quality of life.
