Hemorrhoid Energy Therapy for Treatment of Deep Chronic Anal Fissures.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Energy therapy is a well-known, minimally invasive treatment for internal hemorrhoids. This treatment has not yet been studied in anal fissures refractory to medical therapy. Anal fissures, such as hemorrhoids, can disrupt the quality of life for patients. Currently, nonsurgical treatments available for anal fissures are only supportive measures. Definitive for chronic anal fissures refractory to medical therapy is internal sphincterotomy. This treatment has chances of relapse and a risk of anal incontinence. We propose the use of hemorrhoid energy therapy with bipolar cautery as a safer, less invasive, and effective therapy for recurrent anal fissures refractory to conservative management.
