High rectourethral fistula following TURP: repair possible only after transvesical prostatectomy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. 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
We report a case of iatrogenic rectourethral fistula (RUF) in an elderly man with benign prostatic enlargement and acute urinary retention, following a transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). This patient presented a unique challenge of tackling the RUF in the presence of a large residual prostate gland and urinary tract infection. RUF was repaired only after getting the access to the fistula following transvesical prostatectomy. Follow-up imaging showed well-healed repair of RUF. Transvesical prostatectomy is a useful adjunctive procedure in repair of RUF when associated with a large prostate. This case also highlights the importance of technique selection while planning for surgery on large prostate glands. TURP is not the preferred first modality of choice for larger glands as noted in this case.
