Colouterine fistula relating to diverticulitis: a rare clinical entity.

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
Colouterine fistula is a rare but recognizable complication of diverticulitis. This case illustrates the presence of a colouterine fistula in an elderly patient who had an atypical presentation for diverticulitis. She was initially treated with intravenous antibiotics for diverticulitis with a contained abscess. This gave her an opportunity to avoid surgery. However, her sepsis failed to respond to the initial treatment. Progress computerized tomography imaging demonstrated the presence of a colouterine fistula for which she required source control. Thus she underwent laparotomy, Hartmann's procedure, and total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The diagnosis of colouterine fistula was confirmed intraoperatively and on histopathology. Subsequently, the patient had an uneventful recovery following the operation. This case highlights the rarity but also the veracity of this clinical entity.
