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

Neobladder-vaginal fistula (NVF) is a rare complication after radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder, impacting patient quality of life. This case report describes successful transvaginal, multilayered closure of NVF in a 59-year-old woman with urinary incontinence post-surgery. Despite prior intraoperative repair, an 8mm fistula was detected and repaired transvaginally. A watertight test confirmed closure, and the patient remained continent at 22 months follow-up. NVF rates range from 3 to 6%, with risk factors including poor vaginal vascularity and intraoperative injury. This case supports transvaginal repair as an initial approach, with further research needed to refine NVF management strategies.
