Potential drug-induced constipation: A retrospective study using a Japanese claims database.

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
Background and Aim: Detailed clinical information regarding drug-induced constipation (DIC) is limited. This study aimed to investigate the real-world situation of DIC. Methods: This retrospective study used data from a Japanese claims database registered from 2014 to 2021. The constipation cohort included subjects with at least one record of treated constipation, while the non-constipation cohort was selected through random stratified sampling method, to match the constipation cohort by gender. The study population and control with at least one history of a known causative drug (CD) were matched 1:1 using propensity scores. The proportion of potential DIC (pDIC), the timing of diagnosis for pDIC, and the proportion of prescriptions by drug class for both the CDs and the laxatives were calculated, while logistic regression analysis was performed to explore additional associated factors. Results: Of the 4 533 905 subjects, 178 852 were eligible in both the study population and the control. The pDIC group comprised of 19 485 patients, which accounted for 10.9% of all treated constipation subjects, while the non-constipation with CD group had 10 430 subjects. The median duration between the recorded CD prescription and treated constipation was 38.0 days. The most frequently prescribed CD was cardiovascular drugs (47.9%). All CD classes, being male, and some comorbidities were associated with the occurrence of pDIC. Conclusion: The pDIC subjects accounted for about 11% of all treated constipation cases. Since DIC requires different treatment regimens compared to other constipation types, physicians should be cognizant to provide patients with optimized treatments.
