Colouterine Fistula: A Rare Presentation of Severe Diverticular Disease.
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
Colouterine fistula as a sequela of diverticulitis is an extremely rare complication due to the extraordinarily thick layer of myometrium of the uterus. Because of this, an aggressive clinical evaluation is required to rule out other potential causes of fistula formation such as malignancy. However, imaging and laboratory techniques may be inconclusive, and surgery with pathologic analysis may be required for a definitive diagnosis. The case presented here illustrates the atypical presentation of a 63-year-old woman with acutely symptomatic, severely extensive diverticular disease with resultant colouterine fistula. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, sigmoidectomy with end colostomy, appendectomy, and total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Eventually, she was discharged with an excellent prognosis and had an uneventful recovery. This case is being presented because of the rarity of the disease course as well as the complexity of the decision-making and surgical approach that resulted in patient recovery.
