Perianal Mucinous Adenocarcinoma: A Case of Recurrent Anal Fistula.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An anal fistula is a fairly common clinical condition, with a very low incidence of malignant transformation. Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a subtype of adenocarcinoma, and its occurrence within perianal fistula tracts is quite rare. This case report describes a 54-year-old male patient with recurrent anal fistula, initially suspected of Crohn's disease (CD), and ultimately diagnosed with perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma. After our joint internal medicine, surgery, and imaging reassessment, the diagnosis was confirmed. Anal fistula is usually considered a benign lesion, but it may also be associated with other diseases. Due to overlapping symptoms of related diseases, the investigation of malignant lesions is often overlooked. This case report emphasizes the importance of timely referral and multidisciplinary management for disease diagnosis and early treatment.
