Colo-renal Fistula in a Patient With Refractory Anemia and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Although rare, colo-renal fistulas pose diagnostic challenges due to their varied presentations and etiologies. Here, we present a unique case of a woman with recurrent pyelonephritis, severe anemia, and unintended weight loss, who was eventually diagnosed with a colo-renal fistula. Delayed imaging following intraoperative fluoroscopy revealed the abnormal connection between the colon and upper urinary tract. The patient underwent nephrectomy and colon resection. This case report emphasizes the need for suspicion in diagnosing such fistulas and highlights their varied management. This case adds to the literature by illustrating an unusual presentation and underscores the complexity of diagnosis and treatment.
