Efficacy of posterior median anal incision with incision and drainage of the anal sinus on chronic anal fissure.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. 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
backgroundTo explore the efficacy of posterior median anal incision plus incision and drainage of anal sinus on chronic anal fissure (CAF), and its influence on incidence and recurrence of postoperative infection.
methodsAltogether 130 patients with CAF treated during January 2017 and January 2021 were included and divided into a research group (RG) and control group (CG). Among them, 80 patients in the RG were treated with posterior median anal incision and expansion plus anal sinus incision and drainage, while 50 in the CG were treated with lateral internal sphincterotomy. Clinical indexes (wound healing time, recovery time of bowel sounds, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay), levels of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8, CRP) before and one week after treatment, changes of psychological and emotional scores (SAS, SDS scores) before and 6 months after treatment, sleep and scores of daily activities after admission and 6 months after treatment, VAS scores at 1 day, 1 week and 2 weeks after operation, compliance, total effective rate, and incidence and recurrence rate of postoperative incision infection were compared between the groups.
resultsCompared with the CG, the wound healing time, recovery time of bowel sounds and length of stay were shorter, and intraoperative blood loss was lower in the RG; the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and CRP were lower in RG one week after treatment. Six months after treatment, the SAS, SDS and PSQI scores were lower, the ADL scores were higher, the compliance and total effective rate were higher, and the incidence and recurrence rate of postoperative incision infection were lower in the RG.
conclusionPosterior median anal incision plus incision drainage of the anal sinus has better efficacy on CAF, and can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and recurrence.
