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

backgroundTraumatic rectal injuries are uncommon and can originate due to various causes. Rectal injuries have a high mor-bidity, regardless of cause, and detection at the time of occurrence is important to prevent fistula formation and/or stoma. In this article, treatment approaches in patients with isolated rectovaginal septum injury without perineal and sphincter injury during sponta-neous vaginal delivery are presented and the current literature is reviewed.

methodsThe records of spontaneous vaginal deliveries that resulted in live births between January 2015 and January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively at our center. The records of patients with isolated rectovaginal septum injury were evaluated in terms of demographic and obstetric data, trauma, classification of injury, and early and late results.

resultsIsolated septum injuries were detected 12 women (0.06%). Of the isolated rectovaginal septum injuries, 9 (75%) were clas-sified as Type III, 2 (16.6%) as Type IV, and 1 (8.3%) as a Type V injury according to the Rosenshein classification. Transvaginal repair was performed because all of the injuries underwent early surgical intervention, were limited, and exploration through the vagina was possible.

conclusionRectal examination should be performed simultaneously with a detailed perineal examination after vaginal delivery. For birth-related rectal injuries detected early in appropriate patients, a primary repair without diversion stoma may be the best option.
