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

introductionNowadays, after wide left colectomy, it is necessary to choose one of the following procedures: a definitive transverse colostomy, an ileo-rectal anastomosis or a right colo-rectal anastomosis (Deloyers procedure). PRESENTATION OF CASE: We performed our new procedure on a 63 years-old man. After an extensive left proctocolectomy, the intestinal continuity between the transverse colon and rectum was obtained by transposition and rotation of the right colon into the pelvis. After recanalization the patient never lost the functions of the large intestine and progressively restored continence. DISCUSSION: Saving the transverse colon and the right colon mean achieving not only continence but also a better degree of reabsorption of liquids and vitamin K and group B production in order to keep intestinal functions as similar as possible to the normal physiology.

conclusionThe one-year follow-up surgical and clinical outcomes are encouraging to support the feasibility of this procedure in terms of improving the quality of life: avoiding diarrhea, incontinence and post-operative urgency.
