Martius flap in recurrent rectovaginal fistula: a video vignette.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 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
purposeWe aimed to demonstrate the Martius flap treatment in a patient who had a recurrent iatrogenic rectovaginal fistula following cystocele repair.
methodWe performed a Martius flap procedure for the reconstruction. A vascularized flap was harvested from the labial fat pad, ensuring preservation of its blood supply via the internal pudendal vessels. The flap was then transposed to the defect site to provide adequate vascular support and promote healing.
resultsThe patient initially underwent a primary repair of the rectovaginal fistula, which did not achieve fistula healing. A diverting colostomy was then created. Following referral to our unit, a Martius flap using tissue from the left labium majus was performed. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2 without complications.
conclusionRVF is a debilitating condition that can significantly impair quality of life and often necessitates repeated surgical interventions. We believe that implementing techniques to facilitate the healing process may play a crucial role in optimizing patient outcomes.
