Twenty years of restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis in Beaumont Hospital.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionAn ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice in selected patients to restore intestinal continuity following proctocolectomy. Data on IPAA in the Republic of Ireland is lacking, and surgery for IPAA has evolved over time. The aim of this retrospective study was to report our institutional outcomes from IPAA over a 20-year period.
methodsData were retrospectively collated from consecutive primary IPAA cases between 1998 and 2017 at Beaumont Hospital. Patient demographics and operative approach were examined, and pouch failure was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsNinety-five patients underwent IPAA over the study period with a mean follow-up of 9.4 ± 5.6 years. The mean age at IPAA was 35.9 ± 10.0 years, and 58.9% were male. The majority were performed in 3 stages (78.9%), were performed to treat ulcerative colitis (66.3%), were of a J-pouch configuration (96.8%), and had a stapled anastomosis (70.5%). On follow-up, 28.4% reported experiencing at least 1 episode of pouchitis and the 10-year pouch failure rate was 14%. In the last decile of the study period, the mean number of IPAA performed per year increased to 10.5 ± 2.1 (P = 0.013), the age of IPAA formation reduced (P = 0.049), and the proportion completed in a minimally invasive manner increased (P < 0.001).
conclusionsAcceptable long-term outcomes were observed by our institution. A recent increase in institutional volume, reduction in patient age, and increase in the proportion of cases performed laparoscopically have been identified.
