Endoscopic placement of self-expandable metallic stents for rectovaginal fistula after colorectal resection: a comparison with proximal diverting ileostomy alone.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundSelf-expandable metal stents can be used to treat patients with rectovaginal fistula after colorectal resection for cancer.
methodsFifteen patients with rectovaginal fistula, after colorectal resection for cancer, were treated with endoscopic placement of a self-expandable metal stent. In four patients, a diverting proximal stoma had been performed elsewhere. Mean age was 58 years. All patients had preoperative radiotherapy. In ten patients, the stent was placed as initial form of treatment. Four patients were referred after multiple failed operations. The control group consisted of ten patients who had rectovaginal fistula and underwent proximal diverting ileostomy and percutaneous drainage of the surrounding abscess
resultsOne patient was not able to tolerate the stent, which was removed. At a mean follow-up of 22 months, the rectovaginal fistula healed in 12 patients. In the remaining two patients, the fistula has reduced significantly in size to allow a successful flap transposition. The fistula healed only in five out of the ten patients who had only a proximal ileostomy.
conclusionsEndoscopic placement of self-expandable metal stents represents a valid adjunctive to treat patients with rectovaginal fistula, after colorectal resection for cancer.
