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

objectivesRectoanal intussusception (RAI) is a common finding on defecography in patients with defecation disorders. This study aimed to compare the proctographic findings and symptoms between patients with anterior RAI and those with circular RAI.

methodsWe included 208 patients who were diagnosed as having RAI on defecography. Anorectal function was evaluated using Constipation Scoring System (CSS) and Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI).

resultsTwenty-four patients had anterior RAI and 184 had circular RAI. While the anterior intussusception descent or pelvic floor descent was significantly smaller in patients with anterior RAI than those with circular RAI [14.3 vs. 18.5 mm,

conclusionsApproximately one tenth of the whole RAI was anterior in location, and symptoms in patients with anterior RAI were similar to those with circular RAI.
