Temporary loop ileostomy versus transverse colostomy for laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a retrospective study.
Article in Surgery today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo compare the surgical outcomes of ileostomy vs. transverse colostomy and investigate which is more suitable for a diverting stoma.
methodsWe assessed stoma-related complications and surgical outcomes, retrospectively, for 146 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery with a temporary loop ileostomy or transverse colostomy. Complications after secondary stoma closure surgery were also analyzed.
resultsAfter the primary surgery, the incidence of prolapse was significantly higher in the transverse colostomy group, whereas high-output stoma and skin irritation were seen more frequently in the ileostomy group. The median interval to stoma closure was shorter in the ileostomy group than in the transverse colostomy group (144 vs. 196 days). After secondary closure surgery, the incidence of wound infection was significantly higher in the transverse colostomy group than in the ileostomy group. None of the patients in the ileostomy group had severe complications. The median postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ileostomy group than in the transverse colostomy group (10 vs. 13 days).
conclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that ileostomy should be the procedure of choice for short-term temporary diverting stoma, but that transverse colostomy is more appropriate for patients who require a long-term or permanent stoma.
