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

Background: The Altemeier procedure for rectal prolapse offers excellent results in all age groups with minimal complications and allows for short hospital stays and recovery periods. We aimed to evaluate the results of transperineal surgery for rectal prolapse. Methods: In this case series study, 74 patients underwent perineal rectal prolapse surgery using Altemeier method and coloanal anastomosis at Ayottollah Taleghani Hospital, Tehran from 2013 to 2023 were enrolled. Results: Overall, 48 patients were female (64.8%) and the mean age was 52 years (range 18 to 80). Common symptoms were constipation (62.1%), fecal incontinence (76.95%), rectal bleeding (41.85%), and difficult defecation (9.45%). The Jorge and Wexner incontinence score before and after the operation was 13.5 and 5.5, respectively, and no statistically significant difference was observed (P=0.41). No mortality was reported after surgery. Conclusion: The long-term recurrence rate after Altemier's procedure was low. This method has a reasonable recurrence rate compared to other techniques, and is a good option for younger patients without underlying disease. Further multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are needed to evaluate the outcomes of transperineal surgery for rectal prolapse.
