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

Aim and background: Anorectal diseases constitute a significant portion of surgical practice worldwide, affecting quality of life and productivity. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management, with proctoscopy being a fundamental diagnostic tool. This study aimed to evaluate the role of dual lens endo-proctoscopy (DLP) in the diagnosis and management of anorectal diseases. Materials and methods: This study was conducted at Shri BM Patil Medical College, Hospital, and Research Centre, Vijayapura, Karnataka, from April 2023 to January 2025. A total of 384 patients presenting with anorectal symptoms underwent evaluation using DLP. Results: The majority of patients belonged to the age-group of 31-40 years (27.6%) with a male predominance (71.4%). Anal fissure (20.3%), grade II hemorrhoids (19.8%), and fistula in ano (15.6%) were the predominant diagnoses. The images were utilized for patient counseling, histopathological reporting annotation, and to create image bank for artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnosis of anorectal disease. Conclusion: Dual lens endo-proctoscopy demonstrated significant utility in the evaluation of anorectal diseases, offering enhanced visualization that facilitated accurate diagnosis and appropriate management planning. The technology's integration into routine clinical practice appears justified based on its diagnostic advantages, and for future use in AI-based diagnosis of anorectal disease. Clinical significance: The DLP offers a clearer and more detailed view of the anal canal, helping doctors spot issues like fissures, piles, and fistulas more accurately. Its side camera picks up details that older tools often miss, leading to better treatment planning. Plus, the images can be used to explain conditions to patients and train AI systems to improve future diagnosis. How to cite this article: Mathias LP, Chavan D, Patil VL,
