Biopsychosocial Model and Perceived Constipation Severity According to the Constipation Phenotype.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeConstipation is a frequent complaint of patients with functional bowel disorders. The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the perceived constipation severity with demographics, clinical, physiological, and psychological parameters in constipated patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsFour hundred seven constipated patients were included and had clinical, physiological, and psychological evaluation. The self-reported severity of constipation was analyzed using stepwise linear regression in the total population and within each clinical group.
resultsThe patients were mainly of female gender (81%) and were 47.4 ± 16.5 years old. They complained of IBS (65%), and 62% had defecation disorders. The depression scale was abnormal in 200 patients (49%). The relationships of the constipation severity varied according to the Rome IV phenotype. In all phenotypes, it was positively associated with bloating severity, and negatively with Bristol stool form. In IBS patients, perceived constipation severity was also associated with abdominal pain severity.
conclusionOur data support the hypothesis that perceived constipation severity is associated with clinical and physiological factors but not demographics and psychological factors. Besides, the relationships of perceived constipation severity with these factors vary according to clinical phenotypes.
