A complex presentation and successful management of fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease extending to the mid-back.

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
Fistulizing perianal disease is a debilitating complication present in nearly half of all patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The majority of anal fistulas arising in these patients are complex. Treatment can be challenging with therapy often requiring both medical and surgical interventions with differing levels of symptomatic relief. Fecal diversion is an option after medical and surgical modalities have been exhausted but demonstrates limited efficacy. Complex perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease is inherently morbid and can be difficult to manage. We present a case of a young male with Crohn's, severe malnutrition and multiple perianal abscess with extensive fistula tracts up to his back; a planned fecal diversion was instituted to control sepsis and allow for wound healing and optimize medical therapy.
