Complications in spinal cord injury persons with "traditional" colostomy: a case series.

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
introductionNeurogenic bowel dysfunction is a frequent consequence of spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D). A colostomy is considered when conservative treatments fail [1, 2]. In the last year we observed several SCI/D persons with colostomy, admitted to our institution with multiple complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We present four cases of SCI/D persons treated with Hartmann's procedure and admitted to our institution for pressure ulcer (PU) treatment. All patients underwent PU surgery with good results. All patients reported a subjective good evacuation setting. No one assumed laxative therapies at home. At admission, all patients underwent abdominal radiography that showed an important constipation, with cases of sub-occlusion or complete occlusion with gastroparesis. One person presented a parastomal, strangulated hernia and underwent hernia reduction and patch positioning around the stoma. During hospital stay, bowel management required an important administration of laxatives and frequent, almost daily, stoma washes. DISCUSSION: Some considerations must be made regarding the use of traditional techniques in SCI/D people, such as Hartmann's, leaving a large part of the colon and the anatomical position of the stoma itself represent limitations to fecal progression and may cause constipation. A specific approach, tailored on the SCI/D patients' characteristics, such as the one described by our group, should be considered. Even if colostomy has been performed, appropriate therapies and health education on how to manage the stoma are fundamental to prevent complications.
