Bletilla striata promotes the healing of enterocutaneous fistula: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
rationaleEnterocutaneous fistula (ECF) has long been difficult to treat in clinical settings. The current approaches, including surgery, antibiotics, and nutritional support, cannot achieve satisfactory outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 54-year-old man presented with intermittent discharge of purulent material from the fistula of an umbilical incision post colon surgery. His symptoms did not improve after receipt of antibiotic and surgical treatment. DIAGNOSIS: The patient's symptoms, radiographic findings, and pathological examination led to a diagnosis of ECF.
interventionsSterilized Bletilla striata was injected into the fistula once every 3 days for a total of 6 doses. OUTCOMES: The ECF completely healed, and the patient was symptom-free after 1 month. LESSONS: The patient's pronounced improvement and the merit of this easy-to-perform low-cost method suggest that Bletilla striata may be used by surgeons for the treatment of chronic abdominal wall fistulas.
