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.

2 · The registry

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

Benign anastomotic strictures most commonly occur within 3-12 months after anterior resection (AR) with chronic symptoms amenable to endoscopic treatment. This case describes an acute large bowel obstruction secondary to a severe delayed benign anastomotic stricture in a 74-year-old female who had previously underwent a laparoscopic AR for sigmoid adenocarcinoma 3 years prior. The pathophysiology of benign anastomotic strictures remains poorly understood. This case was likely multifactorial. Potential contributing factors include anastomotic ischaemia and concomitant collagenous colitis, with inflammation leading to fibrosis and stricture development. Surgical techniques to optimize anastomotic vascularity are important to consider, particularly in older patients with multiple co-morbidities.
