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

Objective: To investigate whether medium-frequency pulse electrical therapy can effectively shorten the duration of postoperative ileus in gynecological patients. Methods: Clinical data from 126 eligible gynecological surgery patients from January 2024 to June 2024 were analyzed. Patients were grouped based on whether they received medium-frequency pulse electrical therapy and the initiation time of the therapy. Postoperative time to first flatus was compared between groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the time to first anal exhaust between patients who received medium-frequency pulsed electrotherapy and those who did not ( Conclusion: Medium-frequency pulse electrical therapy shows no significant effect in shortening the duration of postoperative ileus in gynecological patients.
