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

objectiveThis study was conducted to present the preliminary results of seven patients treated with sphinctero-vagino-perineoplasty for secondary repair of obstetric anal sphincter injuries. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study was conducted on the records of seven patients who underwent secondary repair of obstetric anal sphincter injuries at the colorectal surgery unit of a tertiary care center between February 2015 and December 2017.

resultsAll patients with solid stool incontinence were fully recovered at postoperative month 3. The Wexner incontinence score was significantly improved (decreased from 14.12 [range: 8-20] to 2.28 [range: 1-4]). The complication rate was 85.7% (wound infection, abscess, hematoma, detachment).

conclusionCombined repair of anal sphinchters, perineal body, superficial transverse perineal muscles, and bulbospongious muscles, which contribute to anal continence, may improve surgical outcomes in patients with obstetric anal sphincter injuries.
