Comparison of Pre- and Postoperative Gut Microbiota Diversity in Patients With Rectal Cancer Undergoing Stoma Creation and Closure.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 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
Aim: To investigate the impact of temporary stoma creation and its subsequent closure on gut microbiota composition and diversity in patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery. Methods: Nineteen patients with primary rectal cancer who underwent curative surgery were enrolled and divided into two groups: stoma ( Results: In the stoma group, alpha diversity significantly decreased after surgery ( Conclusion: Temporary stoma creation in rectal cancer surgery induces persistent alterations in gut microbiota; these alterations are characterized by reduced diversity and a shift toward a dysbiotic profile with increased pathogenic and decreased beneficial taxa. These findings highlight the potential need for microbiota-targeted strategies to mitigate long-term dysbiosis in patients undergoing stoma-related procedures.
