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
Objectives: There are many surgical options for the treatment of rectal prolapse. To date, the efficacy of mesh-free laparoscopic suture rectopexy remains unclear due to the limited number of reports. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic suture rectopexy. Methods: This observational cohort study is a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of a continuously maintained database. All patients underwent laparoscopic suture rectopexy for rectal prolapse between April 2012 and March 2018. The primary outcomes measured were recurrence rates and complications of laparoscopic suture rectopexy. Results: A total of 268 patients (29 male and 239 female) underwent laparoscopic suture rectopexy. Their mean age was 77 (19-95) years, and the mean prolapse length was 6.4 (3.5-20) cm. One patient suffered an intraabdominal abscess. Spondylitis developed in another patient following surgery. The median follow-up period was 45 (12-82) months. A total of 22 patients (8.2%) developed recurrence. The average time to recurrence was 15.6 (1-44) months. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between recurrence and prolapse length >7.0 cm (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.38-1.42, Conclusions: Laparoscopic suture rectopexy for complete rectal prolapse is a minimally invasive and safe procedure that may lead to lower recurrence rates.
