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

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) comprise a broad spectrum of congenital anomalies involving both anorectal and urogenital tracts. After diagnosis, urological problems should be evaluated in addition to surgical correction of ARMs. Commonly encountered urological problems in patients with ARMs are recurrent urinary tract infections, vesicoureteral reflux, and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, the proper timing of urination and appropriate defecation habits are essential for preserving renal function in patients with ARMs. Here, we report a case of acute hydronephrosis by severe stool impaction in a patient with a history of congenital ARMs and neurogenic bladder. In this case, the physicians should consider properly managing chronic constipation and urination in patients with ARMs despite successful surgical corrections.
