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

Background: Colovaginal fistula (CVF) is a rare, late complication of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy that significantly impairs quality of life. We report a case occurring 9 years postoperatively to highlight its presentation and management. Case: A G3P3 woman in her seventies presented with yellow, foul-smelling vaginal discharge 9 years after laparoscopic total hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy. Colonoscopy revealed a rectovaginal fistula; histology excluded diverticular disease. A multidisciplinary team performed laparoscopic removal of the eroded mesh and sigmoid resection with primary anastomosis. At 1-year follow-up the vagina was completely healed and the patient reported no further abnormal discharge. Conclusion: CVF may arise almost a decade after sacrocolpopexy. A high index of suspicion, prompt multidisciplinary surgery and long-term surveillance are essential for optimal outcomes.
