Anal Fistula That Developed After Bilateral Vasectomy Complicated by Scrotal and Perineal Infections.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present a case of an anal fistula that developed after bilateral vasectomy complicated by scrotal and perineal infections. The anatomical location of this post-vasectomy fistula was unique, as previously reported vasocutaneous fistulas after vasectomy typically occur in the scrotum. Another unusual aspect of this case was that it developed in an otherwise healthy individual, without any predisposing risk factors such as prior genitourinary surgery, radiation, or voiding dysfunction. A repeat pelvic MRI did not identify this fistula, which was ultimately diagnosed through examination under anesthesia in the operating room and successfully treated with anal fistulotomy.
