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

Uretero-uterine fistula (UUF) is an exceedingly rare complication following cesarean section. Due to its scarcity, established management guidelines are lacking, and surgical intervention is typically required for complex or delayed presentations where tissue fibrosis complicates repair. This case report introduces a classification for cyclic hematuria (menouria) and describes a novel surgical approach the 'Wrap and Patch' omental flap technique for robust UUF reconstruction. Our findings suggest that this dual-surface strategy provides a vascularized barrier that may reduce recurrence, though further research is warranted to validate its long-term efficacy.
