Anthropometric Assessment After Proctocolectomy Due to Ulcerative Colitis.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPostoperative changes in patient anthropometric and nutritional statuses after proctocolectomy due to ulcerative colitis (UC) are unclear. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween January 2015 and December 2017, nine patients who underwent proctocolectomy with temporary ileostomy (PTI) for UC at our hospital were enrolled in this study. For the comparison group, eight patients who underwent low anterior resection (LAR) with temporary ileostomy for rectal cancer in the same period were recruited. Data, including body weight; body mass index (BMI); levels of total protein, albumin, cholinesterase, and hemoglobin; and lymphocyte counts, were analyzed. The changes in these parameters before surgery until 6 months after surgery were compared.
resultsBefore surgery, the levels of total protein, albumin, cholinesterase, hemoglobin and lymphocyte counts in the PTI group were significantly worse than those in the LAR group. However, significant differences were not identified in these factors at 1 month after surgery. The BMI was significantly lower in the PTI group than in the LAR group until 3 months after surgery. An increase in body weight to greater than that prior to surgery was found from 4 months after surgery in the PTI group. The LAR group did not have any effect of surgery in terms of any factor.
conclusionBMI appears to be the most useful predictor of clinical and nutritional changes postoperatively.
