Value of Endoanal Ultrasound in the Comprehensive Management of Crohn's Disease-Associated Anorectal Fistulas: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Crohn's disease frequently involves the perianal region, where complex anal fistulas represent a challenging manifestation due to high recurrence rates and the risk of sphincter injury, as well as fecal incontinence. We report the case of a woman with long-standing Crohn's disease, who developed a complex anal fistula in which endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) was essential for accurate anatomical characterization, assessment of sphincter involvement, and therapeutic planning. Following medical optimization and sphincter-sparing surgery, the patient achieved complete healing with preserved continence. This case highlights the value of EAUS as an effective, accessible, and cost-efficient imaging modality for the evaluation and follow-up of perianal Crohn's disease, supporting individualized management strategies in selected patients.
