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

Spontaneous gastrointestinal fistula formation is often due to Crohn's disease (CD). Though most CD fistulas are perianal in nature, intra-abdominal internal fistulas can develop as well. Here we present a rare case of a gastrocolic cutaneous fistula in a patient with long standing CD. The fistula required a two-stage surgical approach. The first procedure addressed the acute cutaneous abscess portion of the fistula and the second procedure managed the gastrocolic portion. This case demonstrates the complex surgical management involved in taking care of CD patients with internal fistulas.
