Taiwan society of colon and rectal surgeons' consensus on the management of hemorrhoidal disease.
Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEstablishing statements backed by strong scientific evidence with the intention of standardizing and guiding Hemorrhoidal Disease (HD) diagnosis and treatment in both the general population and in specific patient groups is the aim of this consensus.
methodsA consensus panel of 11 surgical specialists from the Taiwan Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons was convened from July 2023 to October 2024. Using a modified Delphi methodology, the panel addressed the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and special situations of HD. Experts responded to a pre-meeting survey, and a literature search of English-language studies on clinical judgment, pharmacologic treatments, and surgical interventions was conducted. Draft statements were developed, discussed, and refined during the first meeting in July 2023. In April 2024, the panel reviewed updated studies, finalized recommendations, and voted anonymously. An online meeting in October 2024 validated and approved the recommendations, which were graded using the GRADE system.
resultsA total of 9 consensus statements have been developed covering the diagnosis and management of HD. The general principle of this consensus statement is to follow most international guidelines. To tailor the local clinical practice, we also discussed the alternative treatment strategy for sclerotherapy, the use of traditional herbs/medicines, and the consideration of CRC screening test.
conclusionsThese suggestions may represent a positive start toward recognized guidelines for improved hemorrhoidal disease treatment for all Taiwan healthcare professionals. As the first point of contact with patients, general practitioners, family medicine physicians, young surgeons, and pharmacists will find them to be quite valuable.
