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
backgroundColovesical fistula (CVF) typically manifests with pneumaturia or fecaluria and is diagnosed promptly. We present an exceptionally rare and severe manifestation of CVF resulting from a 10-year diagnostic delay, which culminated in extraordinary complications, scarcely documented in contemporary literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old Arab male from Syria was diagnosed with a colovesical fistula (CVF) after 10-year diagnostic delay. This protracted interval resulted in the development of a fistula measuring approximately 5 cm, herniation of the affected sigmoid colon segment into the bladder, complete colonic obstruction, and total diversion of fecal matter via the urethra. Despite the diagnostic delays and associated complications, surgical intervention yielded favorable results, and the patient was discharged in good health.
conclusionsCVF diagnosis is still challenging. Profound diagnostic delay can result in significant fistula enlargement. Nevertheless, surgical intervention remains the treatment of choice even in cases of delayed presentation and demonstrates favorable outcomes.
