Risk factors for the recurrence of perineal canal.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for recurrence in the perineal canal (PC).
methodsPatients with PC who underwent operations were enrolled in this study and were divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Preoperative infection, the age at the operation, the presence of colostomy and the treatment procedure for fistula were retrospectively investigated. Regarding the treatment procedure for fistula, either closure of the rectal wall with stitches or ligation of fistula in the rectum was performed. These factors were compared between the two groups.
resultsSix of 17 patients with PC who underwent surgical treatment had recurrence. There were no significant differences in the incidence of preoperative infection, age at operation or presence of colostomy (p = 0.60, 0.38, 1.00, respectively). In the recurrence group, all patients were treated by closure of the rectal wall. In the non-recurrence group, five were treated by the closure of the rectal wall with stitches and six by ligation of the fistula. There was a significant association between recurrence and the treatment procedure for fistula (p = 0.04).
conclusionClosure of the rectal wall with stitches is a risk factor for the recurrence of PC.
