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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis retrospective study was performed in patients undergoing Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy (SH) who were post-operatively treated with Proctonorm® with the aim of assessing its effect on early and late haemorrhoidal-related symptoms. PATIENTS AND

methodsForty-six males and 54 females received Proctonorm® (one tablet twice daily for 14 days) and Ketoprofene R (200 mg, one tablet twice daily, as requested).

results"Early Complication Score" (0-12) two days after surgery was 2.02±1.03; pain VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) (0-10) was 1.21±0.89, and the number of anti-inflammatory tablets was 4.24±1.06. At 40-day post-operative assessment, seven patients had post-operative complications with "Late Complication Score" (0-20) of 0.34±0.68. At six-month follow-up, a high index of patient satisfaction (VAS=9.39±0.24) was self-reported with 75% reduction in CSS (Constipation Scoring System) (1.95±2.58) compared to preoperative scores; "Late Complication Score" was 0.

conclusionThe specific target activity of Proctonorm® at the microcircular level may be effective in patients undergoing SH in order to reduce the inflammatory response of residual haemorrhoids while waiting for stable resolution of symptoms within one or two weeks.
