Single-incision clipless laparoscopic total colectomy for intractable slow transit constipation: a single surgeon's experience.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 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
purposeIn our institution, patients with intractable slow transit constipation (STC) have undergone single-incision clipless laparoscopic total colectomy (SCLTC) with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) since 2011. We aimed to examine the feasibility and usefulness of SCLTC with IRA for patients with intractable STC.
methodsFrom January 2011 to December 2018, twenty-two patients with intractable STC underwent SCLTC with IRA at Kashiwa Hospital, Jikei University, by a single surgeon, were retrospectively registered in this study. They consisted of the first 12 consecutive patients undergoing the double stapling technique (DST) with IRA (DST group) and the last 10 consecutive patients undergoing functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA) with IRA (FEEA group).
resultsThe median surgical time was 185 (150-249) min for the FEEA group and 230 (180-266) min for the DST group. A significant difference was identified between the two groups (0.035). There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to the median age, sex, body mass index, constipation type, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, or no use of laxatives daily stool frequency 1 month after surgery. No postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage, bowel obstruction, or bleeding related to vessel sealing device, were encountered in either group more than 3 years after surgery.
conclusionOur results suggest that SCLTC with IRA is feasible and safe for patients with intractable STC. SCLTC with IRA using FEEA is especially preferred to that using DST for patients with intestinal contents in the rectum that cannot be completely removed by pre- and intraoperative preparation.
