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

Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF) represent a detrimental condition causing psychological, physical and social strain on patients. In developed countries they are predominantly the result of pelvic surgery or radiation therapy, whilst obstetric VVF are common in developing countries due to prolonged and complicated births. The majority of VVF require surgical therapy, thus a comprehensive diagnostic workup is needed. Depending on diagnostic characteristics fistula repair can be performed by a transvaginal, transabdominal or minimally invasive approach. Timing of surgery, appropriate interposition of vascularized grafts, optimized postoperative management and surgical expertise are determining factors for successful treatment. This review describes the diagnostic workup and therapeutic management of VVF including various surgical techniques.
