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

backgroundThe perception of symptoms in individuals with rectal prolapse (RP) can be influenced by psychiatric disorders (PD). It was hypothesized that women with a history of PD would experience higher levels of bother from RP symptoms.

aimTo examine the relationship between PD and symptom severity in women with RP.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on female patients with RP from an approved registry. Demographic data, medical history, and prolapse-associated symptoms were collected. Validated questionnaires were used to measure the severity of symptoms and degree of associated bother. Patients with and without psychiatric history were compared.

resultsAmong the 200 patients included in the study, 83 (42%) had a PD, with depression (

conclusionWomen with RP have a higher prevalence of PD and perceive bowel symptoms as more severe. Routine screening for PD is recommended and may improve patients' outcomes.
