Diagnosis and treatment of slow-transit constipation.
Review in BMC gastroenterology, 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
In today's society, with changes in diet structure and living habits, drug abuse, and psychosomatic diseases, the prevalence of constipation is increasing. Currently, there is a lack of unified diagnostic criteria for constipation, and therapeutic approaches lack standardization. This often leads to an inability to select appropriate treatment methods based on the patient's specific condition. Consequently, a significant proportion of constipation patients do not achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes. This is particularly true for slow-transit constipation (STC), which is characterized by a protracted course of the disease and significant diagnostic challenges. Therefore, this review aims to delineate the mechanisms, diagnosis, and therapeutic advances in STC, in order to offer insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
