Evaluation of bowel preparation quality in patients with a history of colorectal resection.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimsSuboptimal bowel function can negatively affect colon cleansing for colonoscopy after surgery. Very few studies have compared the relationship between the colorectal resection and the bowel preparation quality. We postulated that the colon cleansing quality in patients with a history of colorectal surgery might not be inferior to that of patients with no resection history. MATERIALS AND
methodsOverall, 200 patients were enrolled in the study and distributed into two groups: the resection group (RG) and the control group. The surgical maneuvers were classified as right colectomy, left colectomy, and rectosigmoidectomy. The bowel preparation was performed using 2-L low-volume or 4-L high-volume regimens, and the preparation quality was evaluated using the modified Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS).
resultsThere were no significant differences in achieving adequate cleansing observed between the RG and the control group (modified BBPS of 6-9; 88% vs. 88%). According to the logistic regression analysis of the RG, patients with a left colon resection had an odds ratio (OR) of 0.27 (p=0.003) for achieving a successful cleansing, and the low-volume preparation (OR=3.092, p=0.023) was the main predictor of a successful cleansing procedure. However, a longer time between colonoscopy and surgery was not related to unsuccessful bowel cleansing.
conclusionOur study demonstrates that a history of colorectal surgery is not a risk factor for inadequate colon cleansing.
