Repair of a vesico-vaginal fistula with amniotic membrane - Step 1 of the IDEAL recommendations of surgical innovation.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.
Randomized Pilot Study to Improve Postprostatectomy Incontinence and Potency by Application of Dried Human Amnion Graft
Efficacy of Amniotic Membrane Implantation Over Pancreo-jejunal Anastomosis After Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Reducing Post-operative Pancreatic Fistula POPF.

Abstract
introductionComplex vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) has a high recurrence rate and so the repair with graft tissues seems to be favorable. Amniotic membrane (AM) plays an increasing role as a scaffold for the repair of defect tissue due to its unique biological properties with regard to promoting wound healing. MATERIAL AND
methodsAn innovative surgical procedure for AM-assisted repair of a complex vesico-vaginal fistula as the Idea Stage following the IDEAL recommendations is presented. The development of amnion preparation and the involved surgical steps are described.
resultsWe are able to report a successful repair of VVF by abdominal approach with an amniotic membrane graft. Good functional results, no adverse events and no graft rejection have been detected.
conclusionsFavorable results confirm the technical simplicity, safety and efficacy of this procedure. Following the IDEAL recommendations, consecutive animal experiments and a cohort study are in progress.
