Demography of Haemorrhoids in Jamhuriat Hospital, Kabul.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Hemorrhoids, common benign anorectal conditions, are associated with various factors, such as low fiber intake, constipation, and pregnancy. Treatment typically involves procedures such as banding and surgery. Objective: This retrospective investigation aimed to assess the frequency and demography of hemorrhoids in Kabul, Afghanistan. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at Jamhuriat Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. Two hundred and fifty-two patients who were diagnosed with hemorrhoids were included. All pertinent demographic data were collected from the medical records and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Results: Males composed 83.7% of the patients, and 32.9% were aged 30-40 years. A lower socioeconomic status was common (61.1%). Bleeding, prolapse, and pain were frequent symptoms. Surgical management was common for third- and fourth-degree hemorrhoids (51.6%). Conclusion: This study found a high prevalence of hemorrhoids among males (83.7%) and low-income individuals (61.1%), highlighting the need for further research into risk factors for delayed presentation.
