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
Background Approximately 9,000 patients undergo ileostomy formation each year in England. This includes those formed in both the elective and emergency settings. Recent studies have indicated a stoma-related complication rate of up to 83%.The aim of the current study was to ascertain the most common indications for ileostomy formation and to determine whether there were differences in the complication rates depending on whether the surgery occurred in the emergency or elective setting. Methods The study was a retrospective audit conducted at the University Hospitals of Leicester. Inclusion criteria were patients who underwent ileostomy formation between January 1 and December 31, 2023. Results The study cohort comprised 97 patients. Eleven of 44 (25.0%) patients in the emergency cohort had stoma-related complications, with their main reasons being high output stomas and bowel obstruction, which is higher compared to the elective patient cohort which had a complication rate of 5/53 (9.4%), with their main reasons being parastomal hernias and stoma prolapse. Ileostomies formed as a result of colorectal malignancy also led to a higher complication rate. Conclusion Our study suggests that ileostomies formed in the emergency setting as well as those formed due to colorectal malignancies had a higher rate of stoma-related complications. Stoma-related complications continue to be a common presentation to the emergency department.
