Clinical and surgical factors for successful stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease-results of a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
purposeDespite the wide range of medical and interventional therapy options available, some patients with Crohn's disease (CD) need an ileostomy or colostomy. The aim of this study was to identify clinical, surgical and drug-related predictors of successful stoma reversal in CD patients.
methodsA retrospective medical record analysis of surgical department logs, hospital discharge letters and patient reports from outpatient departments was performed for all CD patients who underwent a first ostomy surgery.
resultsOur study analysed a total of 149 patients (76 women, 73 men, median age at first stoma of 34 years after a median CD duration of 9 years), with a median follow-up of 78.4 (IQR 88.6) months after first ostomy surgery. Of these patients, 73 (49%) underwent stoma reversal after a median of 11.7 months (IQR 15.7 months) of whom 17 (23.3%) needed a second stoma. In multivariant analysis, Montreal A1 classification (HR 2.07; 95% confidence interval 1.23-3.47; p = 0.006), a primary laparotomy (HR 2.30; 95% confidence interval 1.20-4.41; p = 0.012) and the absence of perianal/rectal CD activity (HR 3.00; 95% confidence interval 1.86-4.86; p < 0.001) emerged as independent predictors of a shorter time to stoma reversal. Introduction or switch of biological therapy after first stoma was not associated with successful reversal of the stoma (OR 4.6 95% confidence interval 1.45-14.66; p = 0.01). Laboratory parameters had no influence.
conclusionClinical and surgical features-rather than medication or laboratory findings-were found to be predictors of successful stoma reversal in CD patients. Future studies focusing on the definition of a Standard Operation Procedure for emergency and elective CD surgery are warranted.
