15-Year-old with neglected recto-vestibular fistula in western Uganda: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundTeenage and late presentation of anorectal malformations are not uncommon in developing world. Some of the reasons for late presentation include but not limited to illiteracy, poverty, lack of awareness, and limited trained pediatric surgeons. In rural areas, neonates with ARMs are considered cursed and are marginalized. CASE: 15-Year-old African girl (a munyankole by tribe in Uganda) from western Uganda presented at 15 years of life with colostomy and uncorrected anorectal malformation. Never went to school due to social stigma.
conclusionDue to limited number of trained pediatric surgeons in most of African Countries, many children in addition to living with a colostomy or untreated malformation, may also be undiagnosed with chronic constipation. Improved awareness and advocacy would promote early presentation and treatment.
