Surgical management of colovesical fistulas.
Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe most common etiology of colovesical fistulas is complicated diverticular disease and the treatment of choice is surgical resection. There are very few reports of the application of minimally invasive approaches for these surgeries. The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of laparoscopy in this challenging surgical setting.
methodsA retrospective analysis of patients who underwent transabdominal surgery for colovesical fistula in 2008-2018 was performed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: patients who had open surgery and patients treated with laparoscopy. The postoperative course was reviewed for the length of stay, postoperative complications, readmission, emergency re-operation, and mortality
resultsThirty-five patients were included (13 females [37%]; median age 68 [range 28-84] years) with a mean body mass index of 29 ± 7.19 kg/m
conclusionsLaparoscopic management of colovesical fistula is both safe and feasible in a high volume laparoscopic colorectal surgery center. Laparoscopy offers potential benefits including a decreased incidence of surgical site infections and medical complications.
