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

We describe Per Anal Endoscopic Rectopexy (PAER), a new treatment for complete rectal prolapse, which involves fixing the anterior rectal wall to the under-surface of the anterior abdominal wall and posterior rectal wall to the sacrum, through a submucosal tunnel (both endoluminally). This is a prospective single-centre pilot study done at a tertiary care centre. A total of 12 patients with a mean age of 48 years underwent the procedure. Constipation and incontinence were present in 8 and 4 patients, respectively and a significant improvement was seen in both following the procedure. A significant decrease in anorectal angle and its descent was also observed on post procedure magnetic resonance defecography. One patient had partial recurrence of prolapse. No major morbidity was observed. PAER is a minimally invasive and safe option for rectal prolapse, which needs to be validated in more patients over a longer follow up period.
