Laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty: a salvage option for genitourinary fistula after failed McIndoe's repair.

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
A 30-year-old woman presented with vesicovaginal fistula after a forceful intercourse. She was diagnosed as a case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome 14 years ago and had underwent McIndoe's vaginoplasty using amniotic membrane. Similarly, another 14-year-old girl presented with an iatrogenic urethral and bladder neck injury during an attempt at McIndoe's vaginoplasty 4 months ago at another centre leading to urinary fistula with absent vagina. A laparoscopic salvage was done for both the cases along with repair of genitourinary fistula using sigmoid colon. There was no further requirement of vaginal dilation. Both patients remain fully continent at 1 year follow-up. Laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty is a worthy minimally invasive salvage method for the patients of MRKH who develop fistulous complication after a previous attempt at neovagina creation. The bowel wall provides a structurally strong layer to withstand the repeated sexual trauma of the vagina.
