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 recovery of gastrointestinal function after rectal cancer surgery is a key factor influencing patients' postoperative quality of life. This study is the first to explore the role of vitamin B1 and B12 in the recovery of gastrointestinal function after rectal cancer surgery. Methods: Eligible patients were divided into four groups: no vitamin group, vitamin B1 alone group, vitamin B12 alone group, and combined vitamin B1 and B12 group. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences in the time to first flatus among the four groups. Due to the small number of patients using only vitamin B1 or only vitamin B12, these patients were excluded, and univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed on the time to first flatus. Results: The time to first flatus exhibited a non-normal distribution. The Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test indicated significant differences in the time to first flatus among the four groups ( Conclusion: The combined use of vitamin B1 and B12 can accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function after rectal cancer surgery.
