Functional outcomes after transanal ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis: narrative review of the current literature.
Synthesis in Techniques in coloproctology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The transanal approach to ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (Ta-IPAA) for ulcerative colitis was introduced in 2015 and has since been shown to be a safe and feasible technique, although the impact of this approach on patient function remains unclear. A systematic literature review was performed to identify studies exploring functional outcomes and quality of life after Ta-IPAA. Seven papers were identified, which all demonstrated satisfactory functional outcomes after Ta-IPAA as measured by tools such as Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQOL), Oresland Score (OS), Pouch Functional Score (PFS), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ). Many gaps in the literature were identified including paucity of follow-up data beyond the 1-year mark, lack of fertility and fecundity assessment as functional outcomes, and limited evaluation of objective physiologic anal sphincter function. The Ta-IPAA therefore shows promise for good functional results in the short-term, although further research will be required to evaluate the stability of function over time as the technique becomes increasingly integrated into modern surgical practice.
