Long-term functional outcome and quality of life after ileal pouch anal anastomosis: retrospective, tertiary-center study, over 19 years.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeRestorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a well codified procedure with low morbi-mortality and increasingly satisfactory functional results. We aimed to evaluate long-term quality of life and functional outcome of this procedure.
methodsRetrospective, descriptive study of IPAA cases carried out over a period of 19 years [2001-2019], in the visceral and digestive surgery department of Sahloul Hospital. Anal incontinence was assessed using the St. Mark's Incontinence Score (SMIS). We evaluated functional outcome using the Öresland Score (OS) and the Pouch Functional Score (PFS), and quality of life (QoL) using Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL).
results125 patients (50,4% females) with a median age at surgery of 40.5 ± 14.9 years. Response rate to the questionnaires was 91,2% (n = 114). Only the "J" shaped ileal pouch was made. The global postoperative morbidity was 36%. Most patients had a good functional outcome with a median OS of 5.3 ± 3.6 and a median PFS of 7,3 ± 6,1. The average diurnal bowel mouvement is 5 ± 2.1, while 83,3% (n = 96) had less than 7 diurnal bowel movements. The average of nocturnal bowel movement is 2.14 ± 1.59 while 70,1% (n = 80) had less than 2 nocturnal bowel movements. Most patients had a good QoL with a median CGQL of 18,4 ± 4,3.
conclusionThe IAA with « J » shaped ileal pouch is a procedure ensuring sphincter function compatible with normal life. Future sexual and quality of life studies will need to elicit preoperative baselines. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Research registry 9509.
