A Rare Occurrence of Spontaneous Closure of a Sigmoid Loop Colostomy and an Inevitable Ventral Hernia.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An intestinal stoma is an opening of the intestinal tract onto the anterior abdominal wall. It is a commonly performed surgical procedure done for various benign and malignant pathologies. The construction of the stoma is temporary or permanent. Loop stoma is usually performed to divert the faecal stream for protection of the downstream anastomosis. They are usually reverted once the purpose of their creation is served. Spontaneous closure is a rare event that could result from a gradual stomal retraction. However, a normal bowel with no distal obstruction would be a prerequisite for it to be asymptomatic. Here, we report a case of spontaneous closure of a diversion loop sigmoid colostomy which had a delayed presentation. This is the second case of spontaneous closure of a sigmoid loop colostomy and the first report on the management of ventral hernias following spontaneously closed stoma in the English literature to the best of our knowledge.
