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
objectiveTo investigate the treatment of high complex anal fistula with time-scheduled dotted and solid thread-ligating therapy combined with vacuum sealing drainage.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of 80 patients with high complex anal fistula admitted to the anorectal department of our hospital was conducted. The patients in the control group (n=40) were treated with traditional incision thread-ligating therapy, while the patients in the observation group (n=40) were treated with time-scheduled dotted and solid thread-ligating therapy combined with vacuum sealing drainage. The postoperative wound healing time, clinical efficacy, postoperative pain scores as well as pre- and postoperative anal function and anorectal pressure of patients in the two groups were observed.
resultsThe observation group had a shorter wound healing time (P<0.001), lower postoperative pain scores (P<0.05), a lower increase of Wexner score (P<0.001), a higher total effective rate (97.50% vs. 90.00%; P>0.05), a higher anal maximal contraction pressure and a larger high pressure zone than the control group (P<0.05). Compared with those before operation, the Wexner scores of patients in the two groups after operation were increased, while the anal maximal contraction pressure and high pressure zone in the control group were decreased (P<0.001).
conclusionThe treatment of complex high anal fistula with time-scheduled dotted and solid thread-ligating combined with vacuum sealing drainage has short wound healing time, high efficiency, and little influence on the postoperative function of anal sphincter. It is worthy to be popularized in clinic.
