Quality of life in patients with hemorrhoidal disease.
Article in Surgery open science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07427927 (Data-driven Clustering in Hemorrhoid Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.

Abstract
Background: Operation for hemorrhoidal disease is one of the most common operations performed globally. However, we know little about the impact of the disease on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), or the importance of the observed clinical and anatomical changes. Method: This was a single-center cross-sectional and cohort study. HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form 12 and 36 (SF12 and SF36), EuroQoL 5-dimensions 5-levels (EQ-5D), and a disease specific questionnaire; Short Health Scale for Hemorrhoidal Disease (SHS Results: Patients reporting a high symptom load had lower SF12 physical health scores compared with the background population. The EQ-5D indexes indicated impaired HRQoL in men, women <50 years and patients with higher education. Improvements in all three HRQoL measures were seen after surgery.Symptom burden had a negative association with HRQoL measures, whereas the surgeon's grading of anatomical pathology had no association. Conclusion: Hemorrhoidal disease has a negative impact on HRQoL related to the degree of symptoms. Surgical treatment improve the QoL. The surgeon's grading of anal pathology had no association with QoL.
