High-output stoma is a risk factor for stoma outlet obstruction in defunctioning loop ileostomies after rectal cancer surgery.

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
purposeDefunctioning loop ileostomy has been reported to reduce symptomatic anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery; however, stoma outlet obstruction (SOO) is a serious postileostomy complication. We, therefore, explored novel risk factors for SOO in defunctioning loop ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery.
methodsThis is a retrospective study that included 92 patients who underwent defunctioning loop ileostomy with rectal cancer surgery at our institution. Among them, 77 and 15 ileostomies were created at the right lower abdominal and umbilical sites, respectively. We defined the output volume
resultsSOO was observed in 24 cases, and the median onset was 6 days postoperatively. The stoma output volume in the SOO group was consistently higher than that in the non-SOO group. In the multivariate analysis, the rectus abdominis thickness (p < 0.01) and output volume
conclusionA high-output stoma may predict SOO in patients with defunctioning loop ileostomy for rectal cancer. Considering that SOO occurs even at umbilical sites with no rectus abdominis, a high-output stoma may trigger SOO primarily.
