Minimally invasive thermal cauterotherapy (Agnikarma) in grade V rectal prolapse: a unique case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Introduction: Rectal prolapse occurs when layers of the rectum protrude through the anus, which is classified as partial or complete based on the extent of the tissue involvement. The condition has a yearly rate of 2.5% per 100,000 individuals, with a higher incidence in those over 50 due to muscle weakness. Surgical intervention is often necessary to repair the prolapse, manage incontinence, and address underlying factors. Methodology: In this case report, a para-surgical method known as Agni Karma was used, which applies localized heat to promote healing and reduce tissue prolapse. The condition was assessed using the Oxford Radiological Rectal Prolapse Rating System. Result and conclusion: The patient was initially rated as grade five, indicating an external prolapse. Following the Agni Karma treatment, the follow-up showed significant improvement, reducing the grade to three.
