Research on preventing low anterior resection syndrome following sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer through high-risk screening and pelvic floor biofeedback therapy.

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
purposeThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of high-risk screening combined with pelvic floor biofeedback therapy in preventing low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) after sphincter-preserving surgery (SPS) for rectal cancer.
methodsForty-three patients who underwent SPS for rectal cancer at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital from January to December 2022 were assigned to the standard care group and received standard care plus pelvic floor biofeedback therapy. Forty-nine patients treated from January to December 2023 were designated as the high-risk screening group and received high-risk screening for LARS in addition to the standard care group's treatment protocol. LARS scores and incidence rates at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, anorectal pressure values, quality of life scores at 3 and 9 months, and treatment adherence were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe high-risk screening group showed significantly lower LARS scores and incidence rates at all postoperative intervals compared to the standard care group. Additionally, the high-risk screening group demonstrated better anorectal pressure and quality of life scores and achieved higher treatment adherence, with statistically significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).
conclusionsHigh-risk screening combined with targeted pelvic floor biofeedback therapy following SPS for rectal cancer can effectively prevent LARS and improve postoperative recovery quality.
