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
Vestibular fistula (VF) is a common anorectal malformation in females. However, the timing and methods of surgical treatment vary considerably between institutions, mainly because of concerns regarding postoperative complications at the surgical site. This concern primarily relates to the sagittal skin incision extending from the vestibule to the anal region; therefore, we sought ways to minimize its extent. The procedure involved making a skin incision only at the anus, incising the anal sphincter muscle according to the ASARP, and separating the internal fistula tract according to the PSARP. The remaining fistula tract was inverted from the intestinal side and pulled out through the vestibular opening for excision. We report a surgical technique that potentially reduces the concerns and risks of wound complications by avoiding sutured wounds in the perineal skin.
