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

Endoscopic management has become an alternate treatment to a revision surgery for colorectal fistulas. Eight patients who were treated by endoscopy for postoperative anastomotic leakage to colorectal cancer were included. A univariate analysis was carried out to determine the predictive factors of success. All our patients were treated using metallic clips. The primary efficiency of this technique was 50%. In a univariate analysis, the size of the fistula and its distance from the anal margin had an influence on the efficiency of the endoscopic treatment, which was not the case for either the surgical technique or the use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy. This endoscopic treatment is effective and represents a more secure alternative than revision surgery. In our study, the use of metallic clips showed a 50% success rate, going up to 100% for the group of patients with a fistula ostium of a size ⩽1 cm, proving the necessity of using this technique.
