State of the Art for Treatment of Vesicovaginal Fistula.
Review in Current urology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundVesico-vaginal fistulae (VVF) remain the most prevalent genitourinary fistula detrimentally impacting quality of life. PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to examine relevant literature on management of VVF. RECENT
findingsObstructed labor is the leading cause of VVF in the developing world with most repairs performed via the transvaginal approach. Conversely, the predominate etiology in industrialized nations is iatrogenic injury with an increasing trend towards abdominal repair via a minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robotic) approach. No studies have compared transvaginal repair to minimally invasive transabdominal approaches. Further, an increasing number of authors have developed algorithms to determine optimum surgical approaches and risk factors for persistent incontinence. As surgeons become more facile with laparoscopic and robotic skills, there is a growing trend for minimally invasive surgical management of VVF in developed countries, perhaps widening the disparity gap between developing nations where transvaginal approaches predominate with good success. Further studies are needed to compare transvaginal to minimally invasive transabdominal approaches.
