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
backgroundIn acute obstructive left-sided colorectal cancers (AOLCRC), damage to the colon wall may occur as a result of distension of the colon segments proximal to the tumor. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the ratio of dilated colon diameter (CD) to lumbar vertebral corpus diameter on preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan in patients undergoing Hartmann's Procedure (HP) and post-operative complications.
methodsThe tumor group consisted of 49 patients who underwent HP for AOLCRC under emergency conditions. The control group consisted of 49 age-and gender-matched individuals (compatible with tumor group) that had an abdominal CT due to pathologies outside the gastrointestinal tract and without a history of abdominal surgery. In both group, the ratios of the CD to the diameter of the first lumbar vertebra corpus (L1-VD) measured on axial CT images of each patient. These ratios were compared between groups. In the tumor group, the relationship between post-operative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification-major (grade ≥III), minor (grade <III)) and demographic characteristics, pre-operative biochemical values, comorbid diseases, tumor pathological stage, operation time, and colon segments' CD/L1-VD ratios was evaluated.
resultsThe CD/L1-VD ratio in the tumor group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.001). An increase in the pre-operative transverse and descending colon CD/L1-VD ratios in the tumor group were found to be a prognostic parameter for the development of major post-operative complications (p<0.001 and p=0.015, respectively), with the cut-off values as 1.52 and 1.21 (p=0.013 and p=0.042), respectively. The increase in the pre-operative transverse colon CD/L1-VD ratio was also associated with the increase in the blood urea level (p=0.044). A positive correlation was observed between the pre-operative blood urea levels and post-operative complications (p=0.015).
conclusionPre-operative transverse and descending colon CD/L1-VD ratios in AOLCRC are promising prognostic parameters for major postoperative complications.
