Clinical efficacy of flap transfer coverage in the treatment of vesicovaginal fistula.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introduction and hypothesisVesicovaginal fistula (VVF) brings severe psychological, physiological, and social stress to patients, which seriously affects the quality of their sexual life. Traditional transvaginal repair surgery can cause vaginal shortening. Transferring the lateral free flap can maintain vaginal length. This study was carried out to investigate the clinical efficacy of the surgery of flap transfer coverage for treating VVF.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 37 patients diagnosed with VVF and repaired by flap transfer coverage in the Urogynecology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2018 to June 2021. All patients took a prone split leg position to repair VVF with the flap transfer covering method and a chart review was performed.
resultsAmong the 37 patients, there were 34 cases of primary complete healing, and the success rate reached 91.89% without recurrence and complications. Three cases recurred with leakage of urine; cystoscopy showed that the fistula was significantly reduced, and all patients were cured after secondary repair by the same surgical method without complications.
conclusionsFlap transfer coverage is a safe and effective surgical method for repairing VVF. The prone split leg position can better increase exposure. The fistula being away from the incision suture is the key to the success of the operation. Transferring the fistula can effectively improve the cure rate of VVF. Transferring the lateral free flap can maintain vaginal length.
