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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesIn patients with obstructing rectal cancers who require intestinal diversion before neoadjuvant therapy, minimizing diversion-related recovery and instituting early chemoradiation are critical to optimizing outcomes.
methodsA novel, simple, safe, and inexpensive technique was developed for single-port laparoscopic diverting sigmoid loop colostomy in a low-resource environment.
resultsTen consecutive patients with locally advanced rectal cancer underwent single-port, diverting sigmoid loop colostomy using a novel application of the EK glove port. Operative time averaged 59.5 min (range 40-75 min). There were no conversions to multiport laparoscopy or open surgery. There were no intraoperative or early postoperative surgical complications. All patients started chemoradiation therapy within 1 week of diverting colostomy. No surgical reinterventions were required.
conclusionSingle-port laparoscopic diverting sigmoid loop colostomy utilizing an EK glove port is a novel, technically simple, safe, and cost-effective procedure, especially applicable to patients with obstructing rectal cancer who receive care in a low resource environment.
