Translumbosacral Neuromodulation Therapy Is a Promising Option for Fecal Incontinence.
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 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
abstractFecal incontinence is a common symptom that can significantly impair quality of life. The treatment options range from conservative measures (e.g., Kegel exercises, pelvic floor biofeedback therapy, fiber supplementation, or medications) to noninvasive nerve stimulation (e.g., posterior tibial nerve stimulation and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation), implanted neurostimulation (i.e., sacral nerve stimulation), perianal injection of dextranomer, and anal sphincteroplasty. In this issue of the journal, a promising, uncontrolled study suggests that noninvasive, repetitive magnetic stimulation of the lumbosacral nerves significantly improved symptoms, increased anal squeeze pressure, and increased rectal compliance in patients with fecal continence. Sham-controlled studies are necessary to confirm these findings.
