A new technique of doppler dearterialization for hemorrhoidal disease: arterial detection ligation (ADL).

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
purposeWe describe the arterial detection ligation (ADL) technique, designed to find arteries at time-appropriate depth for ligating, and report our preliminary results of using this technique to treat patients with the hemorrhoidal disease (HD).
methodsThe subjects of this retrospective analysis were patients with symptomatic grades 2 or 3 HD. We analyzed the clinical characteristics, postoperative complications, recurrence, and patient satisfaction of the patients treated with ADL.
resultsA total of 75 patients were included in the study (male/female ratio 1.88; mean age 48 ± 19 years; mean BMI 24 ± 3 kg/m
conclusionBased on our preliminary findings, ADL is an effective technique for treating HD, generally as an outpatient procedure, without serious morbidity. We anticipate that the incidence of tenesmus, which is encountered frequently after other dearterialization methods, will be lower after the ADL technique, which avoids both mass ligation of hemorrhoidal arteries deeper than 12 mm and running a long mucopexy suture line.
