Complete Rectal Anastomotic Occlusion That Spontaneously Recanalized, Allowing for Unusual Endoscopic Treatment with a Lumen-Apposing Metal Stent: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Complete anastomotic occlusion following rectal surgery is a rare and challenging complication. While surgical revision remains the standard treatment, it is associated with significant morbidity. Recently, novel endoscopic techniques have emerged as minimally invasive alternatives. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who developed complete rectal anastomotic occlusion after low anterior resection and declined further surgery. Five months later, spontaneous recanalization was observed, allowing for successful endoscopic treatment using a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). The stent was later removed, and ileostomy reversal was completed successfully. Conclusion: Watchful surveillance for spontaneous recanalization may offer a safe opportunity for endoscopic intervention in selected high-risk, diverted patients with complete rectal anastomotic occlusion. LAMS may serve as an effective alternative to fully covered self-expandable metal stents in cases of severe strictures.
