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

introduction and hypothesisSurgical repair of vesicouterine fistula (VUF) can be performed through transvaginal and transabdominal routes. Transvaginal repair of VUF has been rarely reported. This study is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility and experience of transvaginal repair of VUF, and presents a step-by-step concrete surgical technique.

methodsWe presented a video of a 36-year-old woman who developed VUF after a second cesarean section. The patient underwent a transvaginal surgical repair in the prone jackknife position. We also presented the clinical data of another two patients with VUF, and summarized the experience of all three patients in whom the same technique was performed.

resultsThe operative times of the three patients were 120, 200, and 180 min respectively. No surgical complications were observed. After a follow-up of 2-3.5 years, none of the patients had vaginal leakage.

conclusionTransvaginal repair of VUF in the prone jackknife position is a feasible and effective procedure for restoring the anatomy. However, there is still a need for well-designed studies with a large number of patients to identify the most promising approach.
