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

purposeThe objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the temporary loop ileostomy on renal function and also to assess the factors associated with the change in renal function observed between the index surgery (the moment of the radical surgical procedure) and the closure of the ileostomy (the moment of the secondary surgical act of suppression of the ileostomy).

methodsA total of 69 rectal cancer patients from a single referral surgical unit who had a loop ileostomy during low anterior resection of the rectum were included in this study. Serum creatinine levels were evaluated, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated prior to index surgery and closure of the ileostomy.

resultsDuring this time interval, there was a significant decrease in eGFR levels (mean difference - 4.5 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionRenal function impairment is an important event that the surgeon has to take into consideration when deciding upon opting for a loop ileostomy to temporarily defunction a colorectal anastomosis.
