Research progress of stem cell transplantation in the treatment of anal fistula.
Review in Surgery today, 2026. 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
Stem cell transplantation has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of anal fistulas, showing significant potential in addressing this challenging condition. This review aims to summarize the latest research advancements in the field of stem cell therapy for anal fistula, focusing on the underlying mechanisms that contribute to healing, the clinical applications that have been explored in various studies, and the assessment of therapeutic efficacy. Despite these encouraging results, several issues remain, including the optimal source of stem cells, methods of administration, and long-term outcomes. The review will also discuss future research directions, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols and larger-scale clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness of stem cell transplantation in routine clinical practice.
