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: The available evidence regarding the sequential performance of gastrointestinal tract restoration and abdominal wall reconstruction in two surgical stages during a single hospitalization is limited and is based primarily on case series. In this study, we present our experience with the aim of describing the outcomes obtained in the repair of complex abdominal wall defects and the restoration of intestinal continuity using a two-stage approach within the same hospital stay. Methods: Case series of patients who underwent elective surgery for gastrointestinal tract restoration, followed by abdominal wall reconstruction in a second surgical stage during the same hospitalization. Medical records of procedures performed between 2018 and 2023 were reviewed. All interventions were carried out electively by a multidisciplinary team involving the abdominal wall surgery group and colorectal surgery. Results: A total of 30 patients were included. Both surgical procedures were completed in 73% of cases, with a mean interval of 6.3 days between the two surgeries. In 26% of patients, it was not possible to complete both procedures; the most frequent causes were anastomotic leakage and surgical site infection, each occurring in 9% of cases. The mean length of hospital stay was 14 days. The most common complications were postoperative ileus, anastomotic leakage, intestinal perforation, and deep surgical site infection. Conclusion: Although concomitant surgery is associated with a higher risk of complications particularly in the setting of complex hernias-in appropriately selected patients, sequential procedures performed during the same hospitalization can achieve favorable outcomes, especially in stoma reversal. The implementation of prehabilitation programs and the adoption of shared decision-making models are essential to optimize outcomes and reduce associated morbidity.
