Reversal of Hartmann's procedure: still a complicated operation.
Review in Techniques in coloproctology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hartmann's procedure, colonic resection with an end colostomy and rectal closure, is used in a variety of surgical emergencies. It is a common surgical procedure that is often practiced in patients with colonic obstruction and colonic perforation, resolving the acute clinical situation in the majority of cases. Reversal of Hartmann's procedure with restoration of bowel continuity occurs in a significantly low percentage of patients. There are several reasons contributing to the fact that many patients remain with a permanent colostomy following Hartmann's procedure. These include factors related to the patients' clinical status but also to the significant difficulty and morbidity related to the surgical reversal of Hartmann's procedure. The aim of this study was to review the factors related to the fairly low percentage of patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal as well as surgical techniques that could help surgeons restore intestinal continuity following Hartmann's procedure and deal with the postoperative outcomes.
