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: Various surgical techniques for the treatment of colorectal endometriosis have been described, and the benefit of a preventive stoma remains unclear. Objectives: The aim of our study is to evaluate the risk of complications in patients who underwent surgery for colorectal endometriosis without a policy of preventive stoma. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 97 consecutive patients treated for colorectal endometriosis in an expert centre from January 2022 to January 2024. Main Outcome Measures: Complications after colorectal endometriosis surgery in patients without preventive stoma. Results: Forty-three patients were managed by segmental resection, 20 patients by single-disc excision, 5 patients by double-disc excision and 29 patients by rectal shaving. 48 patients required vaginal suturing. We found complications in 14% of patients. Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥3) were encountered in 8.24% of patients. 3.09% developed a rectovaginal fistula. Patients with a colorectal endometriosis nodule larger than 3 cm had more complications than patients with smaller nodules (57.1% vs. 42.9% of total complications), with a Conclusions: Surgery for colorectal endometriosis performed in high-volume centres by expert surgeons leads to a reduction in the risk of postoperative complications. In our study, we did not perform routine preventive stoma formation, and we did not find an increase in postoperative complications compared to the literature. What is New?: This study provides data on the risk of postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal endometriosis without a preventive stoma policy.
