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

Rectocele (RC), defined as the protrusion of the anterior rectal wall into the vaginal lumen, is a significant cause of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). This case report describes a 60-year-old female patient with chronic constipation diagnosed with Grade III RC-induced ODS after excluding organic bowel diseases and slow-transit constipation. The patient underwent transvaginal repair of the RC, resulting in significant clinical improvement. Combined with a review of the literature, this article discusses the diagnostic criteria, surgical indications, and treatment strategies for RC, providing valuable insights for clinical practice.
