Efficacy and Mechanism of Trimebutine Maleate Combined with Lactulose in the Treatment of Constipation-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the Elderly.
Article in Emergency medicine international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Objective: Study on the efficacy and mechanism of trimebutine maleate combined with lactulose in the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) in the elderly. Methods: From March 2019 to March 2021, 102 elderly patients with IBS-C were randomly divided into the observation group (51 cases) and the control group (51 cases). The observation group was treated with trimebutine maleate combined with lactulose, while the control group was treated with lactulose. Comparison of the clinical effects of the two groups. Comparison of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) levels, neuropeptide Y (NPY) levels, and quality of life scores before and after treatment between the two groups. Documentation of adverse reactions during treatment. Results: The improvement of clinical symptoms in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant ( Conclusion: Trimebutine maleate combined with lactulose can improve clinical symptoms and quality of life in elderly patients with IBS-C, and its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of the body's VIP and NPY levels.
