1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimVesico-uterine fistulas (VUFs) are rare in modern gynecological practice. We aim to demonstrate with a video the surgical techniques involved in laparoscopic repair of a vesico-uterine fistula (Youssef's syndrome).

methodsA 37-year-old woman, para 2 and otherwise healthy, was referred to the Urogynaecology Unit 4 months following a vaginal birth after a previous cesarean, with ongoing pink-colored vaginal watery discharge. Cystoscopy and hysteroscopy confirmed the findings of a well-granulated fistulous tract connecting the base of the bladder and anterior uterine wall just above the level of the internal os. She underwent an uncomplicated laparoscopic repair of VUF.

resultsShe has remained asymptomatic with resumption of normal menses and no clinical evidence of fistula recurrence at 6-week and 6-month post-operative reviews.

conclusionThis video demonstrates the surgical techniques involved in the laparoscopic repair of a VUF, a rare case in modern gynecological practice where there are few surgical videos demonstrating techniques.
