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

A 54-year-old male patient presented with pneumaturia. Right scrotal swelling was observed. CT showed an intrascrotal abscess with gas formation. MRI showed a fistula extending from the sigmoid colon to the seminal vesicles. Since there are many diverticula in the sigmoid colon, an abscess caused by diverticulitis may have formed a fistula. The scrotal abscess was drained; however, the pus discharge did not decrease. A colostomy was then performed, and the scrotal infection rapidly improved. Sigmoidectomy and fistula transection were performed 11 months after the colostomy. Prompt diagnosis of a sigmoid coloseminal fistula using imaging has led to optimal treatment.
