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

Vesicovaginal fistula remains a significant cause of female urinary incontinence and impaired quality of life worldwide. Urethral-vaginal fistulas are less common, and difficult to manage, posing difficulties in terms of diagnostic evaluation, the surgical approach to closure, and how the associated complication of stress urinary incontinence is addressed. In this case report the management of a 34-year-old woman who presented with a urethral fistula following initial surgery for a urethral abscess is presented, including fistula closure; lengthening of the urethra; and addressing the loss of sphincter function. This case highlights the fact that a successful outcome in these patients depends on proper surgical technique, and the experience and skill of the management team.
