Arterial-colonic fistula secondary to colonic stent erosion into the left external iliac artery.

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
Self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) are widely utilized as a bridge to surgical intervention and for palliative treatment of malignant bowel obstructions. The risk of complications associated with SEMS is low in well-selected patients. Stent erosion is a rare but serious adverse event that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Here, we report the case of a 74-year-old patient with a colonic obstruction secondary to a pelvic mass that was treated with SEMS and radiotherapy, who developed a partial thickness stent erosion and recurrent hematochezia 6 years after placement. Endoscopic retrieval was not technically feasible. During attempted surgical resection, massive hemorrhage occurred from a colonic-arterial fistula to the left external iliac artery resulting in death. While SEMS remain an effective, minimally invasive approach for the management of bowel obstructions, prolonged
