Pneumoretroperitoneum after a STARR Procedure Performed One Year after a Posterior Colporrhaphy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Visceral medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transanal rectal resection with a stapling instrument (STARR) has been shown to be effective and safe for the treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). Nevertheless, the wide range of complications described in the literature necessitates a rigorous patient selection and a tailored approach for the management of complications. We present here a case of pneumoretroperitoneum which occurred after a STARR procedure for ODS was performed nearly a year after previous anterior and posterior colporrhaphy. The diagnostic workup did not reveal a staple-line defect. Laparoscopy did not show any intra-abdominal pathology. The symptoms resolved under oral antibiotics. The patient was discharged on day 10 after admission. Scarring in the rectovaginal septum from a colporrhaphy 1 year earlier might have contributed to a suboptimal staple-line closure during the STARR procedure, leading to a pneumoretroperitoneum. We discuss this complication and provide a brief review of the literature.
