Laparoscopic management of a rectal foreign body complicated by rectovaginal fistula and pelvic abscess.

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
Rectal foreign bodies (RFBs) are relatively rare clinical occurrences; however, patient concealment of essential medical information may result in diagnostic delays and complicate subsequent retrieval procedures. This case report describes a 23-year-old female patient whose delayed presentation, attributed to embarrassment and shame, resulted in the development of a rectovaginal fistula, further complicated by pelvic and abdominal wall abscess formation. Given the deeply embedded nature of the foreign body and the severity of the associated complications, laparoscopic posterior colpotomy was performed, leading to successful removal. Postoperative follow-up demonstrated complete resolution of inflammatory symptoms and satisfactory healing of the incision site for the left lower abdominal abscess. In cases where RFBs are associated with severe complications or where essential clinical information is unavailable, laparoscopic surgery may represent a safe and effective alternative in selected cases.
