Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery for Marsupialization of Chronic Abscess Cavity After Colorectal Anastomosis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anastomotic leaks are one of the most feared and morbid complications after colorectal anastomosis. Management of leaks depends on the severity of the leak and focuses on controlling sepsis and saving the anastomosis. The lower the anastomosis, the more amenable it is to transanal approaches for salvage. However, when a complication exists higher up in the rectum, the surgeon is more limited in the ability to visualize and intervene. With the advent of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) and the advancement of endoscopic procedures, there are now more options for surgeons to visualize and intervene in anastomotic colorectal leaks. Prior reports have described the use of TAMIS for the management of anastomotic leaks in the acute phase. However, this same approach can be useful in the management of chronic leaks. This report highlights the benefit of TAMIS to allow visualization and marsupialization of a chronic abscess cavity following an anastomotic leak.
