Increased risk of incisional hernia after stoma closure in patients with colorectal cancer.
Article in Surgery today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeStoma construction and closure are common surgical strategies in patients with colorectal cancer. The present study evaluated the influence of multiple incisional sites resulting from stoma closure on incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery.
methodsThe study included 1681 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery. Multiple incisional sites were defined as the coexistence of incisions at the midline and stoma closure sites. We retrospectively investigated the relationship between the presence of multiple incisional sites and incisional hernia development in patients with colorectal cancer.
resultsAmong the 1681 patients, 420 (25%) underwent stoma construction, with a stoma closure-to-construction ratio of 33% (139/420), and 155 (9.2%) developed incisional hernias after colorectal cancer surgery. In the multivariate analysis, female sex (p < 0.001), body mass index (p < 0.001), multiple incisional sites (p = 0.001), wound infection (p = 0.003), and postoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.030) were independent predictors of incisional hernia. In the multiple incisional sites group, the age (p < 0.001), surgical approach (laparoscopic) (p = 0.013), wound infection rate (p = 0.046), small bowel obstruction rate (p < 0.001), and anastomotic leakage rate (p = 0.008) were higher in those in the single incisional site group.
conclusionsMultiple incisional sites resulting from stoma closure are associated with the development of incisional hernia following colorectal cancer surgery.
