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

aimThe purpose of this study is to shed light on a rare complication following ileostomy closure after 3-stage IPAA for further study and discussion.

methodsOur department IPAA database was queried for all patients who underwent 3-stage IPAA creation from 2011 through 2018. Data was reviewed and analyzed using the SPSS application. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used for categorical variables. t test or ANOVA was used for continuous variables. Significance was set at p < 0.05.

resultsThree hundred seventy-eight charts were queried. Sixty-eight complications (18.0%) were identified after ileostomy closure. Thirty-seven were small bowel obstruction or partial small bowel obstruction (SBO or pSBO, 9.79%), 5 cases of leak from ileoileostomy anastomosis (7.4%), and 4 cases of leak from pouch (5.9%). There was no significant difference in time between restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA and loop ileostomy closure with cases where a complication occurred and where one did not (p = 0.28). Eight patients developed a SIRS response in the first 5 days after surgery without an identified intraabdominal source after extensive work-up. Of these patients, 87.5% also had negative re-explorations (both open and laparoscopic). None required re-diversion, and all recovered well.

conclusionsWhile SBO remains the most common complication following ileostomy closure, a surprisingly large number of presents present with a SIRS response with no identifiable source. All of these patients recovered with supportive care, and none required further intervention or diversion. This is a poorly understood phenomenon which is unique to ileostomy closure after IPAA, and further study is required.
