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

BACKGROUND/

aimVesico-uterine fistulas represent a rare type of genito-urinary fistulas; however, due to the increasing incidence of Caesarean section (C-section) in the last decade, this abnormal communication between the urinary and genital tracts has been reported more often after such surgical procedures. The aim of the current article was to report the case of a 28-year-old patient who was submitted to surgery for a vesico-uterine fistula seven years after a C-section. CASE REPORT: The 28-year-old patient with a previous history of four vaginal deliveries and one C-section was self-presented to the Gynecology Department for cyclic hematuria and diagnosed with a vesico-uterine fistula after injecting methylene blue in the uterine cavity during hysteroscopy. The patient was further submitted to surgery, and a parcelar myometrectomy en bloc with parcelar cystectomy, cystography, and prophylactic salpingectomy was performed. The postoperative outcome was uneventful.

conclusionAlthough vesico-uterine fistulas represent rare events, they should be considered, especially in young patients with a previous history of C-section.
