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

We present a patient who underwent endoscopic treatment of a colovesical fistula (CVF) using a through-the-scope clip (TTSC) designed for large defect closure. She was admitted for recurrent urosepsis. She declined surgery but agreed for endoscopic therapy. An over-the-scope clip was not used as the CVF was in close proximity to the right vesicoureteric junction. Conventional TTSCs failed to close the CVF due to fibrotic tissue at the CVF opening. A TTSC designed for large defect closure (MANTIS Clip, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA) successfully closed the CVF. The patient was last reviewed 9 months after endoscopic closure, with no further episodes of urosepsis.
