Evaluation and management of rectovaginal fistula in anorectal malformation: an observational study.
Observational study in Pediatric surgery international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is a type of female ARM in which the rectum terminates in the vagina. Due to its rarity, there are limited reports on its presentation, management, and follow-up. This paper deals with the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of RVF.
methodsIt was a retrospective cohort study of 10 years. The patients were evaluated for age, clinical presentation, associated anomalies, any prior surgical interventions performed elsewhere, and complications. After workup, the patients underwent three stages of surgery.
resultsFifty-six patients of RVF were managed. The median age was 13.48 months. The associated anomalies were present in 37 (66%) patients. Posterosagittal and anterosagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP and ASARP) were performed in 29 and 6 patients, respectively. Abdominoperineal pull-through (APPT) was performed in 16 patients of congenital pouch colon. The complications of the first stage included stomal stenosis (4) and stomal prolapse (3). Constipation was present in 39 patients 2 years after the third surgery.
conclusionsRVF is a distinct entity, which needs careful clinical examination. With proper planning for diagnosis and treatment, it can be managed at specialized centers. Care may be needed for the associated anomalies. The follow-up is an integral part of its management.
