Emergency primary anastomosis with or without intraoperative colonic lavage following sigmoidectomy in sigmoid volvulus: 175-patient experience in a tertiary referral hospital.

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
Objectives: Emergency primary anastomosis following sigmoidectomy is one of the main treatment options in sigmoid volvulus (SV). However, during this procedure, the role of intraoperative colonic lavage (ICL) is controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the role of ICL in 175-patient SV series. Methods: In Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine Department of General Surgery, ICL was applied in 76 cases (43.4%), while it was not used in the remained 99 patients (56.6%) in 58.5-year period. In a partial retrospective (first 20 years, from June 1966 to June 1986) and prospective (later 38.5 years, from June 1986 to December 2024) evaluation, some preoperative, operative, and postoperative findings were utilized. Results: As preoperative data, mean age (56.4 years vs. 57.1 years, P>0.05), male/female ratio (4.8 vs. 4.2, P>0.05), and rate of shock (5.3% vs. 6.1%, P>0.05) were statistically similar in both groups, while mean ASA score (3.1 vs. 2.9, P<0.05) was significantly lower in ICL group. Among operative findings, rates of bowel gangrene (67.1% vs. 63.6%, P>0.05) and perforation (1.3% vs. 1.0%, P>0.05) were statistically similar in both groups, while mean operation time (205.4 minutes vs. 176.8 minutes, P<0.005) was significantly longer in ICL group. As surgical outcomes, rates of mortality (13.2% vs 12.1%, P>0.05) and morbidity (39.5% vs. 28.3%, P>0.05) were statistically similar in both groups, while mean hospitalization time (14.7 days vs. 9.4 days, P<0.001) was significantly longer and mean cost (3,455.4 USD vs. 2,752.1 USD, P<0.001) was significantly higher in ICL group. Conclusion: When compared with that of primary anastomosis with ICL, primary anastomosis without ICL provided shorter operation and hospitalization times, and less cost in addition to similar mortality and morbidity rates in the emergency treatment of SV.
