Bidet-toilet Use as a Cause of Anterior Aphtoid Ulcer in the Anorectum.
Article in Journal of the anus, rectum and colon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electric bidet toilets are automatic devices that deliver water jets to clean the anus. Although the use of bidets to clean the anus after defecation contributes to hand hygiene and local comfort, excessive use may cause anal pruritus and incontinence. However, no cases of anorectal aphtoid ulcers caused by bidet use have yet been reported in literature. A 61-year-old woman presented to our hospital with anal bleeding and pain. Anoscopy revealed an aphtoid ulcer in the anterior midline anorectum. She reported using a bidet toilet and washing her anus before and after defecation for one year. The frequency of washing was five times or more per day, the force of the water jet was strong, the thickness of the water was thin, and the duration of washing per use was 1 min or more. She responded well to the advice of stopping bidet use. At the follow-up, 5 weeks after discontinuing bidet use, she became asymptomatic, and the anoscope showed that the aphtoid ulcer had completely healed. The water jet of the bidet toilet seemed to be the causative factor for the anterior aphtoid ulcer in the anorectum.
