Sacral neuromodulation in patients with congenital faecal incontinence. Special issues and review of the literature.
Review in Techniques in coloproctology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) as a treatment for congenital faecal incontinence (FI).
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients with congenital FI who had SNM surgery at our institution between October 2005 and June 2013. An initial percutaneous nerve evaluation was performed, and patients with an improvement of more than 50% in their symptoms had permanently implants for SNM treatment.
resultsThere were 4 patients who received a permanent implant. Mean duration of follow-up was 67.5 months (range 45-135 months). At last follow-up, 2 patients maintained significant improvement with SNM, 1 was explanted after 4 years of treatment due to infection but remained asymptomatic and SNM failed in the remaining patient who went on to graciloplasty.
conclusionsSNM may be of value for treating FI in patients with anorectal malformations.
