Analysis of recurrence after stapled hemorrhoidopexy in grade IV hemorrhoid disease.

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
backgroundStapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) is one of the most commonly used surgical techniques for hemorrhoidal disease, being particularly effective for grade III and IV hemorrhoids. The procedure is associated with better short-term outcomes, including less postoperative pain, shorter operative time, faster return to work, and higher patient satisfaction. However, there is a risk-benefit debate surrounding SH due to significant complications from the procedure, such as anal stenosis, rectovaginal fistula, fecal incontinence, and recurrence.
aimTo evaluate recurrence rates and factors influencing surgical outcomes following SH in patients with grade III and IV hemorrhoids.
methodsThis retrospective, single-center study enrolled a total of 77 patients with grade III/IV hemorrhoids for analysis. Early (less than 7 days after SH) and late (7 or more days after SH) complications were analyzed. Recurrence rates were calculated as well.
resultsPatients were categorized by hemorrhoid grade and showed no differences in demographic data between the two groups. Recurrence was observed in 4 patients (23.6%) with grade IV hemorrhoids, and no recurrence was noted in patients with grade III hemorrhoids. Postoperative bleeding, incomplete defecation, urgent defecation, incontinence, skin tags, and anal fissure were complications reported by both groups.
conclusionDue to the high recurrence rate, SH is not an appropriate treatment option for patients with grade IV hemorrhoids. Open surgery may be a more suitable option for these patients.
