Variable Gut Function Recovery After Right vs. Left Colectomy May Be Due to Rectosigmoid Hyperactivity.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It is established that gut function recovers slower after right vs. left colectomies with higher rates of prolonged post-operative ileus (PPOI), but the reason is unclear. Development of PPOI is multifactorial. A recent manometry study in right colectomy patients showed that the distal colon becomes hyperactive after surgery with predominantly cyclic motor patterns (CMPs). In this perspective, we evaluate the hypothesis that the slower gut recovery after right hemicolectomy could be induced by a functional obstruction due to hyperactive CMPs.
