Altemeier procedure for strangulated rectal prolapse: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introduction and importanceStrangled rectal prolapse (RP), also known as incarcerated rectal prolapse, is a condition where the RP cannot be manually reduced. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a 48-year-old man presenting with a painful and irreducible rectal prolapse. Following failed attempts at manual reduction and the development of necrosis, emergency surgery was performed using the Altemeier procedure. This surgical technique involves resection of the rectum and colon, followed by colo-anal anastomosis and a protective ileostomy. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The discussion highlights the rarity of RP in young adults and the associated risk factors. It emphasizes the importance of timely intervention in irreducible cases to prevent complications such as strangulation, ulceration, infection, and pain. Various surgical options exist, but in cases of strangulation requiring emergency surgery, the Altemeier procedure is the preferred approach due to its effectiveness and low morbidity. The decision to perform laparoscopic surgery depends on patient factors and surgeon expertise.
conclusionThis case illustrates the successful management of a challenging and uncommon presentation of rectal prolapse, highlighting the value of surgical intervention in cases of strangulation.
