Comparison of fistulotomy and fistulotomy in managing low anal fistula: A prospective study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Low anal fistula is a common anorectal disorder and fistulectomy and fistulotomy are frequently used surgical treatments. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the clinical outcomes, complications and recurrence rates between these two approaches in 120 patients with low anal fistula. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 60 undergoing fistulectomy and 60 undergoing fistulotomy. The study found that fistulotomy had significantly lower operative times, postoperative pain and faster wound healing compared to fistulectomy. There was no significant difference in recurrence or continence between the two groups. Fistulotomy proved to be a simpler, quicker and less painful procedure, making it the preferred option in selected cases.
