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

Colorenal fistulae are a rare complication after percutaneous ablation of renal cell carcinoma tumors. Through-the-scope suturing (TTSS) is becoming increasingly used in the repair of gastrointestinal defects, including fistulae and perforations. We describe a technically and clinically successful case of endoscopic closure of a left-sided colorenal fistula using TTSS. TTSS is safe, relatively low cost, and easy to learn. It can be considered as an initial therapy in the closure of colonic fistulae, before proceeding to surgery, which carries significantly higher morbidity.
