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 ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become the surgical treatment of choice for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis, colitis-associated dysplasia or familial adenomatous polyposis. There are various pouch disorders and associated complications. Floppy pouch complex is defined as the presence of pouch prolapse, afferent limb syndrome, enterocele, redundant loop and folding pouch on pouchoscopy, gastrografin pouchogram or defecography. Common clinical presentation includes dyschezia, bloating, abdominal pain, straining or the sense of incomplete evacuation. Each disorder has its own unique endoscopic, radiographic and manometry findings. A range of therapeutic options are available for the management of the various causes of a pouch.
