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
introductionRectal prolapse is defined as protrusion of the rectal wall outside the anus caused by pelvic floor abnormalities. Operative repair is the only definitive treatment. Until now, there is no ideal surgical technique that can be used for all patients. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Here we report two cases of full-thickness rectal prolapse in elderly patients with high-risk comorbidities. A seventy and seventy-eight-year-old female patients presented with complaints of anal lumps. Their past medical history was significant for arrhythmia, hypertensive heart disease, and pneumonia. The patients then underwent surgical repair with mesh cerclage. The patients were hospitalized for three days after surgery. On days 3, 7, 14, and 6 months after surgery the patients did not complain of any recurrence nor complications. DISCUSSION: We did a modified anal encirclement surgical repair technique in managing these elderly patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse and high-risk comorbidities using mesh to prevent recurrence.
conclusionsAnal encirclement technique using mesh can be considered as an alternative procedure for the treatment of full-thickness rectal prolapse in elderly patients with high-risk comorbidities because this procedure is simple, safe, causes fewer postoperative complications, and also can prevent recurrence.
