1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The anorectum corresponds to the last segment of the gastrointestinal tract and is responsible for mediating fecal continence and controlled defecation. An understanding of the complex topographic anatomy is an indispensable prerequisite for the surgical treatment of benign and malignant diseases in the anorectal region. The detailed description of perirectal fascia, anorectal blood supply and lymph vessel drainage, pelvic autonomic nerves and components of the anal canal and anal sphincter complex has significantly contributed to improvement of the oncological and functional surgical outcome. In this article the state of knowledge relating to the anorectal anatomy is outlined providing a practical basis for rectal and proctological surgical procedures.
