Quality of life among Indian paediatric patients suffering from constipation: An evaluative study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Paediatric functional constipation is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that significantly impairs health-related quality of life (HRQoL), yet its psychosocial and school-related impact remains under-recognized in routine clinical assessment. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the health-related quality of living (HRQoL) in children with functional constipation by using verified child and parent-reported tools and compared results to healthy controls that were age-matched. A cross-sectional, clinic-based sample was analyzed using standard scoring methods and inferential statistical data to compare groups along with severity and intensity gradients. Constipation- related children showed significant lower total HRQoL and psychosocial scores as well as greater symptom burden scores than controls and had the lowest HRQoL being observed in those who suffer from frequent painful defecation as well as fecal incontinence. Thus, we show the importance of routine HRQoL assessments in conjunction with symptom evaluation to provide a comprehensive treatment plan and monitor the response to behavioral and pharmacologic treatments.
