A meta-analysis examined the effect of stoma on surgical site wound infection in colorectal cancer.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. It is linked to trial NCT06309368 (To Close or Not to Close), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
To assess the impact of a stoma on surgical site wound infection in colorectal cancer, we conducted a meta-analysis. A thorough review of the literature up to September 2022 revealed that 3223 participants had colorectal cancer at the start of the investigations; 258 of them had a stoma, while 2965 did not have a stoma. Using dichotomous or contentious methods and a random or fixed-effect model, odds ratios (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to evaluate the impact of a stoma on surgical site wound infection in colorectal cancer. The stoma present had significantly higher surgical site wound infections (OR, 4.37; 95% CI, 3.08-6.21; P < 0.001) with no heterogeneity (I2 = 12%) compared to stoma absent in colorectal cancer. The stoma present had significantly higher surgical site wound infections compared to the stoma absent in colorectal cancer. The low number of selected studies in the meta-analysis calls for care when analysing the results.
