Robot-assisted laparoscopic treatment of appendicovesical fistula in a child: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Appendicovesical fistula (AVF) is a rare condition that occurs in children characterized by an abnormal communication between the appendix and the bladder, caused by diseases such as inflammation or malignancy. Due to the lack of specific clinical symptoms and the difficulty in confirming the diagnosis with traditional imaging examinations such as ultrasound and CT, the disease often has a protracted course. This paper reports a case of a pediatric case of AVF presenting with dysuria, urinary frequency, and diarrhea. The diagnosis was confirmed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and the patient successfully underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy and appendectomy without postoperative complications. This case demonstrates an innovative application of CEUS combined with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for the diagnosis and treatment of a pediatric case of AVF. In addition, we conducted a literature review on AVF in children.
