[Chronic anal fissure-Cremes or surgery?]
Review in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
An anal fissure is a painful lesion of the anal canal. The acute form often heals spontaneously and should be treated conservatively. The treatment of chronic anal fissures is the subject of many studies but the treatment recommendations of international guidelines are contradictory. Conservative treatment consists of chemical sphincterotomy using sphincter-relaxing drugs, such as calcium channel antagonists, nitrates or botulinum toxin and leads to healing in only about 50% of patients with a prolonged healing time and a high rate of recurrence. In contrast surgical treatment is much more effective. Lateral internal sphincterotomy is the most effective treatment with a success rate of >90%. Fissurectomy with a success rate of 80% is preferred in German-speaking countries due to its much lower risk of incontinence.
