Sutureless Loop Enterostomy in Very Low and Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction Sutureless enterostomy is used as an effective technique for constructing an enterostomy in very low and extremely low birth weight infants in Japan. Sutureless enterostomy is a separate type of enterostomy procedure for low birth weight infants. We adapted this technique and developed sutureless loop enterostomy (SLE), an approach without a skin bridge in which the intestinal wall is not sutured to the abdominal wall. This study aimed to compare SLE outcomes with those of sutureless enterostomy (SE) and the conventional procedure (C). Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of 32 very low or extremely low birth weight infants who underwent enterostomy and classified the infants into three groups according to the procedure: SLE, SE, and C. We compared surgery-related items and enterostomy-related complications between the three groups. Results We found no significant differences in sex, age at surgery, or surgical blood loss. The operation time was significantly shorter in the SLE group than in the C group (P < 0.05). The number of postoperative complications was not significantly different in the SLE group compared with the other two groups. Conclusion Sutureless loop enterostomy is an effective, safe procedure for enterostomy in very low and extremely low birth weight infants.
