Non-healing post-surgical fistulae: treatment with image-guided percutaneous injection of cyanoacrylic glue.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2017. 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
objectivesTo present the results of our experience with cyanoacrylic glue percutaneous injection to treat post-surgical non-healing enteric fistulae after failure of standard treatments.
methodsEighteen patients (14 males; age range 33-84, mean 69 years) were treated for a non-healing post-surgical enteric fistula after failure of standard treatments. Under computed tomography and/or fluoroscopic guidance, a mixture of cyanoacrylic glue (Glubran 2, GEM, Viareggio, Italy) and ethiodized oil was injected at the site of the fistula. Fistula was considered healed when no material was drained by the percutaneous drainage and a subsequent computed tomography confirmed the disappearance of any fluid collection.
resultsIn all cases, it was possible to reach the site of the fistula using a percutaneous access. A median of 1 injection (range 1-5) was performed. Fistula healing was achieved in 16/18 (89 %) patients. One patient died for other reasons before fistula healing. Median time for fistula healing was 0 days (mean 8, range 0-58 days). No complications occurred. Reoperation was needed in one patient.
conclusionsPercutaneous injection of cyanoacrylic glue is feasible, safe, and effective to treat non-healing post-surgical enteric fistulae. It may represent a further option to avoid surgical reoperation in frail patients.
