Review in Asian journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Objectives: To highlight critical preoperative and intraoperative considerations in approaching fistula repair robotically. Methods: A search of the literature was conducted to identify relevant articles pertaining to robotic management of urinary fistulae. Results: Fistulae of the genitourinary tract can be a challenging dilemma for urologists, as definitive management may require surgical intervention. Pathogenesis of both enteric and non-enteric fistulae are multifactorial, and successful repair hinges on the meticulous perioperative evaluation, planning, and execution. Traditional open techniques can subject patients to increased morbidity and prolonged hospitalizations. Since its introduction, the robotic surgical platform has continued to expand its indications. Its three-dimensional visualization and tremor free wristed instrument movements have made the robotic platform an attractive option for genitourinary fistula reconstruction. Conclusion: Robotic management of complex urinary fistulae is feasible in expert hands; more studies are needed to define its role in the treatment algorithm of this devastating conditions.
