Complication Profiles following Right-Sided Segmental Colectomy: A Comparative Retrospective Analysis of Crohn's Disease and Colon Cancer.
Article in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2026. 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
objectivesConcerns regarding the higher incidence of postoperative complications in Crohn's disease patients may delay surgical resection. Calibrating postoperative risks specific to Crohn's disease, with the more common indication of colon cancer, is valuable for making informed surgical decisions. The primary objective of this study was to report a disease-specific postoperative complication profile. The secondary objective was to identify factors associated with significant complications (Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥2). SUBJECTS AND
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary center from January 2010 to December 2025 on adult patients who underwent right-sided segmental colectomy for Crohn's disease or colon cancer. The data analyzed included demographics, comorbidities, laboratory findings, and perioperative clinical variables and 30-day postoperative complications.
resultsA total of 230 patients met the inclusion criteria (86 with Crohn's disease and 144 with colon cancer). Patients with Crohn's disease were significantly younger and had fewer associated comorbidities. No differences were observed in the overall postoperative complications. However, among patients who developed complications, the rate of infectious complications was higher in patients with Crohn's disease compared to patients with colon cancer (72.4% vs. 46.4%, p = 0.022). Respiratory complications occurred only in patients with colon cancer. Chronic kidney disease and conversion to open surgery were found to be independently associated with significant complications on multivariate regression analysis.
conclusionOverall postoperative complications rates were comparable between Crohn's disease and colon cancer patients undergoing right-sided segmental colectomy. However, a disease-specific complication profile was noted, with a higher rate of infectious complications in Crohn's disease.
