A comparative study of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics on postoperative anal function of lower rectal cancer.
Trial report in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. 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
backgroundFrom the anal function, inflammatory response and other indicators, acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics was applied to patients with cancer undergoing low resection, aiming to improve the prognosis of patients.
aimTo explore the effects of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics on anal function after lower rectal cancer surgery.
methodsFrom January 2020 to December 2022, 128 patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery in the Department of Oncology of Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected and divided into two groups using the random number table method, with 64 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were not treated with acupuncture or rehabilitation gymnastics and served as blank controls. Patients in the study group were treated with acupuncture and rehabilitation gymnastics from the 7th postoperative day. The anal incontinence scores, changes in serum interleukin-4, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 Levels, and serum motilin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and vasoactive intestinal peptide levels were compared.
resultsThere were no significant differences in serum interleukin-4, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 Levels between the groups before treatment (
conclusionAcupuncture combined with rehabilitation gymnastics can promote the recovery of anal function and reduce the inflammatory response in patients with lower rectal cancer after surgery.
