Laparoscopic ileopexy for afferent loop syndrome after restorative proctocolectomy-a retrospective case series.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 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
backgroundTo study the effect of laparoscopic ileopexy in patients with afferent-loop syndrome (ALS) after restorative proctocolectomy (RP).
methodIleopexy has been the treatment of choice in patients with ALS for the last 5 years at our department. All patients who had undergone ileopexy for ALS between January 2019 and August 2023 were identified. Data were extracted from the medical records. All patients were contacted and asked standardized questions regarding symptoms of ALS. A symptom score was calculated and compared before surgery and at the last follow-up.
resultsTen patients, who had undergone ileopexy for ALS, were identified. Eight of these (80%) had been admitted with small bowel obstruction due to ALS. The remaining 2 patients had other symptoms indicative of ALS. In all patients, ileopexy was immediately effective in reducing symptoms. Symptoms recurred after 16.5 weeks (2-80) in 8 patients. Repeat laparoscopy showed that the ileopexy had slipped in 6 of these. Six had a new ileopexy with mesh. Later, one of these developed recurrent symptoms and had a new mesh ileopexy performed. No mesh complications were seen. Symptom score was reduced from 6.5 (1-9) to 2 (0-7) (p = 0.02) at the last follow-up.
conclusionsIn this study, ileopexy is effective in reducing symptoms of ALS after RP. In a high proportion of patients, it is necessary to use mesh to ensure long-term fixation of the ileum.
