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

backgroundSigmoidovesical fistula (SVF), a rare form of colovesical fistula, predominantly arises from colorectal neoplasms, diverticulitis, or radiation injury. However, no previous literature documents Sigmoidovesical fistula (SVF) expansion with sepsis following transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 73-year-old male with benign prostatic hyperplasia who developed SVF expansion and postoperative sepsis following TURP. Emergency transverse colostomy achieved infection control, followed by successful laparoscopic sigmoidectomy during secondary surgery.

conclusionThis case highlights the need to remain vigilant for occult SVF risks during TURP procedures. Transverse colostomy should be prioritized as damage control surgery for fistula-related sepsis.
