The lateral rectus abdominis positioned stoma (LRAPS) in the construction of end colostomies, loop ileostomies and ileal conduits.
Article in Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundStomas are traditionally constructed through the belly of the rectus muscle. Parastomal herniation is common with the use of mesh prophylaxis still deliberated.
methodsA novel trephine, the lateral rectus abdominis positioned stoma or LRAPS, that minimises damage to the musculature of the anterior abdominal wall, has been used in the construction of end colostomies, loop ileostomies and ileal conduits.
resultsIn a cohort of 106 patients with end colostomy, the cumulative rate of parastomal herniation at 1, 2 and 3 years were 6, 10 and 17%, respectively. In 56 patients in whom an ileal conduit was performed, there was no clinical or radiological evidence of parastomal herniation at 1 year.
conclusionIn contrast to a traditional trephine through the belly of the muscle, this technique avoids damage to the rectus abdominis muscle. Early symptomatic parastomal herniation is unusual after LRAPS.
