Guidelines on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging in patients operated for cryptoglandular anal fistula: Experience from 2404 scans.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard for the evaluation of anal fistulas. There is sufficient literature available outlining the interpretation of fistula MRI before performing surgery. However, the interpretation of MRI becomes quite challenging in the postoperative period after the surgery of fistula has been undertaken. Incidentally, there are scarce data and no set guidelines regarding analysis of fistula MRI in the postoperative period. In this article, we discuss the challenges faced while interpreting the postoperative MRI, the timing of the postoperative MRI, the utility of MRI in the postoperative period for the management of anal fistulas, the importance of the active involvement and experience of the treating clinician in interpreting MRI scans, and the latest advancements in the field.
