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
Intra-operative management of obstructed distended bowel poses a risk of spillage and contamination. Here we describe our novel surgical technique for intra-operative evacuation of a distended, stool-filled obstructed bowel using a standard Mayo's stand cover. The bowel segment proximal and distal to the obstruction is mobilized. The bowel is transected distally. A Mayo's stand cover is attached to the edge of the incision with clamps, creating a sterile collection pouch. The mobilized bowel is exteriorized into the bag. An enterotomy is made just proximal to the obstruction, allowing the stool to evacuate into the bag. Manual antegrade bowel decompression is used to assist emptying. The bowel is then transected proximally and both the resected segment and the bag are removed. The procedure continues with primary anastomosis or stoma formation. Our novel technique provides an effective method to safely decompress a dilated bowel segment while minimizing contamination.
