Incisional hernia at the site of stoma reversal-incidence and risk factors in a retrospective observational analysis.
Observational study in International journal of colorectal disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe closure of a stoma site has a high incidence of incisional hernia (IH) development, reaching 30% in some studies. Location and defect size in the abdominal wall depend on the type of stoma formed, most commonly a loop ileostomy or terminal sigmoid colostomy.
methodsThe retrospective single-centre study includes all consecutive patients who underwent stoma reversal between 2010 and 2016 at the Department of Visceral, Transplant and Thoracic Surgery in Innsbruck. Patient characteristics and follow-up examinations were evaluated for IH at both the stoma reversal site and at any other surgical access sites.
resultsA total of 181 patients (49% female, 51% male) had a stoma reversal operation. A parastomal hernia was present in 5% (n = 9). Follow-up data was available for 140 patients (77%). A postoperative IH at the stoma reversal site developed in 15.7% (n = 22) and in 18.6% (n = 26) at other surgical wounds to the abdominal wall during a median follow-up of 136 weeks. The combination of a preoperative parastomal hernia and a postoperative IH was observed in 2.8% (n = 5). Parastomal herniation, male sex, body mass index over 25, arterial hypertension and concomitant ventral hernia were associated with IH formation at the stoma reversal.
conclusionThe rate of IH at the stoma reversal site was lower than expected from the literature, whereas the rate of IH at other surgical wounds to the abdominal wall was within the expected range.
