The Risk Factors for Complications Following Intestinal Stoma Reversal.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 and objective The restoration of bowel continuity after temporary intestinal stoma formation is a routine general surgical procedure. However, stoma reversal is associated with significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. Surgeons may face challenges such as dense adhesions, iatrogenic bowel injury, or even procedure abandonment, as well as postoperative complications such as surgical site infection (SSI), anastomotic leak, intra-abdominal sepsis, and death. This study aimed to identify common complications and their risk factors to facilitate strategies for optimizing surgical outcomes. Specifically, it sought to determine the incidence and pattern of early (within 30 days) postoperative complications, grade their severity using the Clavien-Dindo classification, and analyze the risk factors associated with complications following intestinal stoma reversal. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery at a tertiary care medical college hospital. All consenting adult patients undergoing reversal of a temporary intestinal stoma were included. Demographic, clinical, and operative variables - including age, sex, comorbidities, stoma type, indication, local pathology, interval between stoma creation and closure, preoperative chemo- or radiotherapy, hemoglobin, serum albumin, surgical technique, and use of postoperative nutritional support - were recorded. Outcome measures included intraoperative technical difficulty, iatrogenic bowel injury, postoperative complications, SSI, anastomotic leak, and mortality. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data and the
