Simultaneous Ureterovaginal and Rectovaginal Fistulas Caused by a Cube Pessary: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: We present a case of simultaneous ureterovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas caused by continuous placement of a cube pessary without daily removal, successfully managed through a multidisciplinary approach. Case Presentation: An 84-year-old female managed with a cube pessary presented with hematochezia. Initial imaging revealed simultaneous pessary penetration into the rectum and right ureterovesical junction. A previous hospital first performed a sigmoid colostomy and an unsuccessful transvaginal rectovaginal fistula closure. Following this, a ureteral stent was placed for the ureterovaginal fistula, but it also failed to close due to extensive tissue defects. She was referred to our hospital, where a multidisciplinary surgery incorporating retroperitoneal extravesical ureteroneocystostomy, transvaginal fistula closure, and anterior colporrhaphy was performed. Conclusion: Cube pessaries require daily self-management, and continuous placement in elderly patients can lead to severe ischemic complications. Multidisciplinary surgical reconstruction is crucial to preserve renal function and restore quality of life.
