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
introduction and hypothesisThe objective was to characterize psychosocial-economic outcomes after obstetric-related vesicovaginal fistula repair (OFR) and completing a comprehensive psychosocial-economic reintegration service at a dedicated fistula center (Association Renaissance, ARENA) compared with women receiving both services in a multispecialty country hospital (Larry Ebert Medical Center, LEMC). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included women who underwent OFR and re-integration training at ARENA fistula center, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, from January 2022 through July 2023, and at LEMC from July 2020 through March 2022. A standardized questionnaire assessing areas of household/income/employment/finance experiences, support resources, and patients' feelings was completed by in-person interview or phone. Analyses included Wilcoxon's rank sum tests, Chi-squared, or Fisher's exact test. Logistic regression models adjusting for age, time living with fistula, and time from surgery were performed to evaluate associations of selected outcomes.
resultsMedian age and time having a fistula between the ARENA center (N=134) and LEMC (N=146) participants were similar: (age, years, median, [IQR] 32.0 [25, 40] vs 34.0 [27, 41] respectively, p = 0.30; time with fistula, years 1.6 [0.2, 10.0] vs 2.5 [0.8, 11] respectively, p = 0.06). Women undergoing treatment at a dedicated fistula center had greater odds of self-satisfaction (aOR4.6, 95% CI 1.4,15.2), being a person of worth (aOR 12.6, 95% CI 3.7, 42.4), and having income-generating assets (aOR 5.1, 95% CI 1.7, 14.9).
conclusionsOverall, psychosocial and economic outcomes for women after OFR reflected greater improvement when post-OFR reintegration services were at a dedicated fistula center.
