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

purposeTo evaluate the bowel function recovery following ureteral reconstruction and identify the associated factors.

methodsWe conducted a prospective study enrolling 98 patients undergoing transperitoneal laparoscopic or robotic-assisted ureteral reconstruction. The time to resumption of gas evacuation and defecation were used to evaluate the bowel function recovery. Student's t-test, Chi-squared test, Pearson's correlation, and linear regression were performed to identify independent factors. Nomograms were developed to predict early resumption of gas evacuation and defecation.

resultsFactors associated with delayed postoperative flatus passage included old age, lower ureteral strictures, opioids exposure, phloroglucinol use, and late ambulation. Delayed resumption of defecation was associated with female, use of two inhalation anesthetics, lower ureteral strictures, supine position, analgesia pump use, and late ambulation. The low-risk group achieved approximately 10-20% shorter recovery times for both flatus passage and defecation. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the prediction models for early resumption of gas evacuation and defecation were 0.807 and 0.839, respectively.

conclusionHigh-risk patients (elderly females with ureteral strictures distal to the common iliac vessels) may benefit from avoiding combined inhalation anesthesia during surgery, minimizing usage of phloroglucinol and opioids exposure, and early mobilization postoperatively.
