Transvaginal repair of apical vesicovaginal fistula via vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES): a modified surgical technique and its outcomes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
To report the procedure of an alternative modified transvaginal repair technique (V-NOTES) and their outcomes in apical vesicovaginal fistula. Between January 2020 and January 2023, gynecological procedures resulted in the diagnosis of apical VVFs in 26 patients, 17 of whom had undergone transvaginal repair of apical vesicovaginal fistula via vaginal V-NOTES. Those patients were contacted and followed up. Outcomes included operative time, blood loss, success rate, postoperative hospital stay. The average age of the patients was 45.82(36-53) yr. The mean duration between onset of fistula and repair was 7.18(3-12) mo. The mean estimated blood loss was 10.45 ± 3.23 ml, and the average operative time was 104.2 ± 12.2 min. Patients' postoperative hospital stay was 3.34 ± 0.72 days on average. The VVF was successfully repaired in 15(88.2%) cases, and failure was observed in 2 patients. All the 2 initial failures were cured in the second repair. No major complications developed in all 17 patients. There were also no fever (> 38℃), urge incontinence or infection in incision area. Our study suggest that the transvaginal repair of apical VVF via V-NOTES is effective and safety, and offers anticipated results without obvious complications.
