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
Objective: Constipation is a prevalent issue among children and is generally treatable with simple therapeutic approaches. However, a considerable proportion of these children experience severe constipation that necessitates more invasive treatments, including surgical interventions. This study is designed to examine the effects of administering the Bowel Management Program (BMP) in the treatment of fecal incontinence and soiling among children with chronic refractory constipation. Materials and methods: The research involved 24 patients who presented at the Children's Medical Center exhibiting symptoms of functional constipation and fecal incontinence. Each patient was enrolled in the study after a thorough review of their medical history, a physical examination, and other paraclinical measurements like barium enema or rectal manometry, ruling out the organic causes of constipation. The bowel management program was subsequently established for these patients. Results: This study examined 24 children, including 14 girls (58.3%) and 10 boys (41.7%), with a mean (SD) age of 4.8 (1.2) years for the girls and 5.4 (1.2) years for the boys. The analysis revealed that there was no significant correlation between symptom duration and treatment duration in relation to gender, as indicated by a p-value greater than 0.05. Spearman's correlation test showed a significant relationship between the children's age and their treatment duration (p<0.001, r=0.54) and also between their age and their clinical symptom duration (p<0.001, r=0.59). Conclusion: The results showed that the children's age was significantly correlated with their treatment duration and clinical symptom duration. The bowel management program can be an effective treatment for overflow incontinence in children with chronic refractory constipation.
