Modified Altemeier Procedure as Management for Incarcerated Rectal Prolapse in a Young Healthy Male Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rectal prolapse (RP) is a rare condition presenting as a partial or complete protrusion of the rectum or as mucosa through the anal canal, and it usually occurs in the elderly or females with multiple risk factors. An initial presentation of incarcerated RP is even rarer. We present a case of a previously healthy 39-year-old man who presented with an incarcerated RP that necessitated urgent perineal proctosigmoidectomy (Altemeier procedure), with diverting sigmoid colostomy, followed by a reversal of the colostomy three months later. This case highlights the importance of surgical management (the modified Altemeier procedure) for a patient with an incarcerated RP. There are no specific guidelines for management of RP; all the recommendations and latest approaches are patients-based approaches according to their presentations, risk factors, age, and gender.
