Surgical treatment of type II atresia ani and rectocutaneous fistula in a male kitten.
Article in JFMS open reports. 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
Case summary: A 4-week-old, male domestic shorthair kitten presented with congenital abnormalities of the rectum and perineal region, including defecation through an aberrant opening within the scrotal area. Positive-contrast radiography and ultrasonography confirmed type II anal atresia with a ventral rectocutaneous fistula. An abnormally positioned urethra was also identified, coursing dorsally to the penile structure. Surgical transposition of the fistulous tract and reconstruction of the anal sphincter were performed using a fistula-flap technique to restore normal defecation. Recovery was uneventful, and spontaneous defecation resumed within 2 weeks. At a 20-month follow-up, the patient remained clinically well. Relevance and novel information: This case represents the first documented use of a fistula-flap technique to successfully correct type II atresia ani with rectocutaneous fistula in a male feline patient, demonstrating that the technique can be safely adapted to different anorectal malformation patterns.
