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

Fistulas represent abnormal communications between two epithelialized surfaces, which can involve organs, vessels, or the skin. While common fistulas are frequently encountered, uncommon fistulas in the thoracic and abdominal cavities pose significant diagnostic challenges due to their varied etiologies and presentations. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the detection, characterization, and management planning of these complex entities. This pictorial review will explore the spectrum of uncommon thoracic and abdominal fistulas, emphasizing the crucial contributions of various imaging modalities. We will discuss etiological factors, characteristic imaging findings, and specific techniques that aid in accurate diagnosis, including illustrative cases. Keywords: Fistula, Digestive System Fistula, Respiratory Tract Fistula, Vascular Fistula, Diagnostic Imaging,  Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Radiography, Thoracic Diseas.
