Functional constipation as a neglected condition in laryngectomized patients.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimsWhen considering the quality of life of patients who undergo total laryngectomy, constipation problems are often overlooked. This study aims to determine whether surgical or concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatments matter in the development of functional constipation in patients with advanced-stage laryngeal cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients without presurgical constipation (according to Rome IV) who were treated with either surgery (n=30) or chemoradiation (n=25) were evaluated for constipation development. Interim evaluation and recommendations were made on the 3rd month. On the 3rd and 6th months, the frequency of constipation between groups was compared using the Rome IV criteria and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Scale-C30 constipation symptom score.
resultsOn the 3rd month, the frequency of constipation was higher in the surgery group than in the chemoradiation group (76.7% vs. 28%, p<0.001). On the 6th month, although still higher, the frequency of constipation decreased following the recommendations in laryngectomized patients (56.7% vs. 36%, p=0.17). C30 Constipation "yes/no" inquiry failed to detect 11 (36.6%) and 8 (26.6%) laryngectomized patients with constipation on the 3rd and 6th months, respectively.
conclusionConstipation is more frequent and develops in the early period of postlaryngectomy. Patients seem to benefit from additional special rehabilitation recommendations. Constipation-prone laryngectomized patients should be screened with the Rome IV criteria, which effectively detect constipation.
