Rubber band ligation of symptomatic hemorrhoids: an old solution to an everyday problem.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThe aim of this prospective study is to present the results of rubber band ligation (RBL) in 2635 consecutive patients with 2
methodsA total of 1256 patients with 2
resultsAfter the end of treatment, 86.8% of our patients were asymptomatic and 84.5% remained asymptomatic 2 years later. A total of 593 patients had complications. Thirty required hospitalization, while pain was the most frequent complication (16.16 %). Multiple banding, young age, male sex, and external hemorrhoids were pain risk factors. RBL proved to be safe in 57 patients with coagulation disorders due to cirrhosis. Symptomatic recurrence was detected in 327 out of 2110 patients (15.49%), with repeat RBL in 219 cases and surgery in 108 cases.
