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
aimAnnual reports on colorectal cancer (CRC) in Denmark reveal marked variations between hospitals in the rates of permanent stomas. The objective of this study was to explore whether socio-economic factors and the treating hospital were independent predictors of creating a permanent stoma rather than an anastomosis in segmental bowel resection for CRC.
methodThis was a register-based national cohort study comprising patients with CRC stratified into four subpopulations according to area of segmental resection: right colon, sigmoid colon, upper third of rectum and mid third of rectum. Primary outcome was anastomosis or permanent stoma, as indicated by the surgeon. We employed multiple logistic regression analyses, adjusting for demographic, performance, lifestyle, comorbid and perioperative factors.
resultsThe right colon had insufficient permanent stoma cases for regression analyses. The remaining three groups comprised a total of 14,113 patients. The rates of permanent stoma in both the upper rectum and the mid-rectum increased with lower household income quartiles. Odds ratios for the lowest income quartiles were 2.1 (95% CI: 1.36-3.13) for the upper rectum and 1.7 (95% CI: 1.25-2.18) for the mid-rectum compared with the highest household income quartile. Educational level and cohabitation were non-significant in the adjusted regressions. We found marked between-hospital variation in permanent stoma rates, compared to the largest hospital, in both sigmoid colon (up to 2.17), upper rectum (up to 4.0) and mid-rectum (up to 4.6) after adjustment (p < 0.01).
conclusionA permanent stoma after elective resection of cancer in the upper two-thirds of the rectum was associated with lower household income. There were marked between-hospital variations in permanent stoma rates after resection of the sigmoid colon and the upper two-thirds of the rectum in CRC, even after adjustment for relevant covariates.
