Guideline in Spinal cord, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06333886 (Using a Point-of-care Electrophysiological Method to Study the Impact of Neuro-sacral Function on Recovery After Acute Spinal Cord Injuries), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

introductionAlmost all people with spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) suffer from neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD), with a considerable impact on quality of life. The Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF e.V.) guideline for NBD in SCI/D aims to provide practice-oriented support for the care of patients with NBD resulting from congenital or aquired SCI/D. The guideline describes the diagnosis and bowel management of NBD in people with SCI/D. Thus, treatment processes in acute medical care and rehabilitation as well as for lifelong aftercare are presented.

methodsThe present guideline was developed under the leadership of the German-speaking Medical Society for Paraplegiology in a multiprofessional interdisciplinary guideline team. To exceed the level of expert recommendations, consensus was reached within the framework of a structured nominal group process in defined steps under neutral moderation considering the criteria of the German guideline development instrument (DELBI).

resultsIndividual bowel management must be developed on the basis of an adequate diagnosis and considering the different lesion types. Due to the multifactorial influenceability of the intestine and the individual neurological deficit, a simple to-do checklist is not effective. Various and complex bowel management programmes are the basis of the treatment of NBD.

conclusionsGuidelines can only be successful in so far as they are applied in everyday life. Of course, the selection and application of the measures described must always take into consideration the individual situation of the person concerned, and the correct application is always a prerequisite for success.
