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

introductionHemorrhoidal disease is one of the most common and frequently occurring benign anorectal disorders, presented with bleeding and prolapsed, and surgery is the main and effective method for severe prolapsed hemorrhoids. Yet, the recurrence rate after procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) is significantly higher. To reduce the recurrence rate and protect the anus function, we try to carry out a randomized, controlled, prospective study to compare the efficacy and recurrence rate of tissue selecting technique (TST) with mega-window stapler (TST-MS) combined with anal canal epithelial preservation operation and PPH combined with external hemorrhoidectomy and inferior internal hemorrhoid ligation operation for the treatment of severe prolapsed hemorrhoids.

methodsThis study is a single-center, evaluator-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Participants meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this RCT will be randomly divided into treatment group (TST-MS combined with anal canal epithelial preservation operation group) and control group (PPH combined with external hemorrhoidectomy and inferior internal hemorrhoid ligation operation) in a 1:1 ratio according to a computer-generated randomization list. The outcomes of recurrence, anal function, intraoperative variables, and postoperative complications will be recorded at different follow-ups.

conclusionThe findings of the study will help to explore the efficacy and recurrence rate of TST-MS combined with anal canal epithelial preservation operation on the treatment of severe prolapsed hemorrhoids.

trial registrationThis study protocol was registered in open science framework (OSF). (Registration number: DOI 10.17605 / OSF.IO / 4JYNF).
