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
backgroundSurgical training in laparoscopic colorectal surgery is characterized by structural deficits and extensive inhomogeneity. Ileocolic resections in Crohn's disease provide an ideal setting for structured training procedures. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes of intestinal resections in patients with Crohn's disease performed by surgical residents under supervision in a specialized center.
methodsBetween October 2021 and August 2025 a total of 361 intestinal resections in patients with Crohn's disease were performed. Of the procedures 90 (25%) were carried out entirely by residents under supervision. Patient characteristics, operative details and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. The primary endpoint was the rate of intra-abdominal septic complications (IASC).
resultsThe residents performed primary ileocolic resections in patients with non-penetrating inflammation who had not previously undergone surgery significantly more frequently. The overall postoperative complication rate was 26%, with IASC occurring in 8% of cases, including 5% near to the anastomosis. The postoperative morbidity was not increased in operations performed by residents, on the contrary the rates of IASC (1% vs. 10%, p = 0.003) and anastomotic complications (1% vs. 7%, p = 0.046) were significantly lower. Multivariate analysis identified preoperative weight loss (> 5%) and non-ileocolic resections as independent risk factors for IASC.
conclusionPrimary ileocolic resections for Crohn's disease are ideal training procedures in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. With appropriate patient selection and close medical supervision, residents can safely perform these operations and with a low morbidity. The results support the integration of such resections as a core component of a structured operative curriculum.
