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

Fecal incontinence has an enormous social and economic impact and may significantly impair quality of life. Even though fecal incontinence is a common complaint in (aging) adults, a structured pathophysiological model of the clinical presentations of fecal incontinence is missing in current literature. The most frequent manifestations of fecal incontinence are passive fecal loss, urge incontinence, or mixed fecal incontinence. At our institution, we treat 400 patients per year with defecation disorders, including a significant number of patients with fecal incontinence. On the basis of this experience, we have tried to create a concept that merges current insight in causes and treatment options in a clinically useful algorithm. By applying the system of anamnesis and physical examination described in this article and expanding it with simple additional anorectal examination, in most patients, one can determine the type of fecal incontinence and choose a targeted therapy.
