Therapeutic Impact on Quality of Life in Adult Patients With Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction: A Multicenter, Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of neurogastroenterology and motility, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background/Aims: : To evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) before and after treatment. Methods: : This study enrolled 50 adult patients diagnosed with CIPO at 4 institutions, of whom 42 underwent therapy. Patient background, body mass index, treatment, palliative care intervention, numerical rating scale for abdominal pain or bloating, the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) and summary scores (physical component summary, mental component summary, and role/social component summary), Japanese version of the Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (JPAC-QOL) and subscales (physical discomfort, psychosocial discomfort, worries and concerns, and satisfaction), and Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) and subscales (stool, rectal, and abdominal symptoms) were prospectively sampled and collected. Results: : The patients (n = 50; 35 females and 15 males) had an average age of onset of 44.7 years and, body mass index of 17.3 kg/m², and 38 (76%) required palliative care intervention. Effective therapeutic interventions included intestinal sterilization (19/42), decompression therapy with percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) (6/42), and dietary restriction (6/42). The numerical rating scale for abdominal distension and pain decreased significantly after treatment. All SF-36 summary scores showed improvements. The JPAC-QOL and PAC-SYM both showed improvement overall and in all subscales. Conclusions: : Patients with CIPO have a lower physical, psychological and social QOL, which is equivalent to or lower than that of adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease or psychiatric disorders. Sterilization of the intestinal tract and PEG-J decompression effectively improve the QOL of patients.
