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

This case report highlights a minimally invasive approach to the management of enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs), specifically jejunocutaneous fistulas (JCFs), using n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue. The patient, a 77-year-old female with Crohn's disease, presented with abdominal pain, fever, chills, and persistent discharge from the JCF site. Conventional treatment options for ECFs, ranging from conservative management to surgical intervention, are often associated with morbidity and prolonged recovery periods. This case demonstrates the successful closure of a JCF using NBCA glue injection, resulting in complete symptom resolution and sustained fistula closure at 18 months follow-up. The application of NBCA glue represents a promising alternative to traditional approaches, offering reduced procedural risks and shorter recovery times. This report highlights the role of minimally invasive techniques in the management of ECFs and highlights the need for further studies to establish standardized protocols and expand the clinical use of this approach.
