Recurrent vaginal squamous cell carcinoma mimicking peri-rectal abscess: The role of endoscopic ultrasound.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. 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
Recurrence of vaginal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) involving the rectum is extremely rare and usually results from direct spread of the primary tumor. Such cases often present with pelvic metastases and can mimic infectious or inflammatory conditions, complicating diagnosis and delaying treatment. While computed tomography scans are commonly used for diagnosis, they may be misleading. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is crucial for accurately assessing rectal and perirectal lesions. We present the case of a 60-year-old female with a history of vaginal SCC who presented with refractory constipation. Initial imaging suggested a perirectal abscess, but a definitive evaluation with EUS revealed rectal wall thickening and a lesion involving the submucosa. Biopsy confirmed high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia consistent with recurrent vaginal SCC. This case highlights the critical role of EUS in diagnosing recurrent pelvic malignancies with rectal involvement.
