Non-malignant left colon emergency surgery: evaluation of factors affecting clinical outcomes and complications.

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
backgroundEmergency colorectal resections hold a significant position in general surgical practice, and pathologies of the left colon are relatively common. This study was conducted to assess the outcomes of isolated left colon surgeries with benign etiologies, drawing on clinicopathological and biochemical data.
methodsWe carried out a retrospective review and statistical analysis of demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients who underwent left colon surgery at the general surgery clinic of a tertiary care hospital, excluding those with malignancy-related emergencies, from January 2017 to January 2022.
resultsThe average age of the 48 patients in the study was 56.9±16.4 years. Complicated acute diverticulitis was the most frequent indication for emergency surgery (n=19, 39.6%). The Hartmann procedure was the surgical technique most often employed (n=30, 62.5%). The rates of postoperative morbidity and mortality within 30 days were 27.1% and 8.3%, respectively. Increased postoperative morbidity was linked to advanced age (mean 65.4±15.8 vs. 53.8±15.7, p=0.028), the preoperative administration of vasopressors, lower platelet counts, hypoalbuminemia (<3 mg/dl), and azotemia (blood urea nitrogen >20 mg/dl). There was no statistically significant correlation between comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores, surgical methods, or other clinical data and postoperative outcomes.
conclusionFor emergency colorectal surgery pertaining to left colon pathologies, it is critical to conduct a comprehensive evaluation in the perioperative period, especially for elderly and hypotensive patients with renal function abnormalities and for those requiring vasopressors.
