Treatment of the anastomotic complications in patients with Crohn's disease.
Trial report in International journal of colorectal disease, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposePostoperative anastomotic complications in patients with Crohn's disease undergoing bowel resections have a detrimental influence on the long-term outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether patients' prognosis is affected by various treatment strategies of anastomotic complications.
methodsThe term anastomosis-related "intraabdominal septic complication" (IASC) was used for anastomotic leaks, intraabdominal abscesses, anastomotic fistula, peritonitis. Only patients with these complications have been included in the study. Outcome parameters were "surgical recurrence" (i.e., need for repeat bowel resections) and "good surgical outcome" (i.e., no death, no surgical recurrence, no stoma, no enterocutaneous fistula). Patients in group 1 were treated by taking the affected anastomosis down and creating an end stoma. The anastomosis has been preserved in patients of group 2.
resultsBetween 1992 and Aug 2009, IASC occurred after 56 ileocolic resections for ileal disease and after 26 resections for Crohn's colitis. In patients with ileal disease, 5-year surgical recurrence rate was lower (0% vs. 65%, p = 0.0020) and a good surgical outcome was achieved more frequently at 2 years (100% vs. 25%, p = 0.0001) in group 1 than in group 2. There was no significant difference of long-term outcome between groups in patients with Crohn's colitis.
conclusionIn patients suffering anastomotic complications after ileocolic resection for ileal Crohn's disease, the prognosis can be significantly improved by taking down the anastomosis and creating an end ileostomy. Anastomosis can be preserved without an outcome impairment in many patients with Crohn's colitis.
