A comprehensive review of iatrogenic rectovaginal fistula after rectal cancer surgery.
Review in Discover oncology, 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
Iatrogenic rectovaginal fistula (RVF) following total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer is an uncommon but profoundly disabling complication, imposing major physical, functional, sexual, and psychosocial burdens. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, often arising in an inflamed, irradiated, or fibrotic pelvis, and compounded by coexisting anastomotic defects. This review is based on a narrative synthesis of the available literature; its aim is to provide an updated overview of current knowledge and clinical practice in the management of RVF, a highly specialised and technically demanding field with limited high-quality evidence.
