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

Anastomotic leakage is a typical complication in gastrointestinal surgery. The frequency of occurrence and symptoms depend on the location of the intervention in the gastrointestinal tract. Consensus definitions have been published for bile leakage, pancreatic fistulas and colorectal leakage but there is still no overall standard classification for anastomotic leakage after surgical intervention in the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, there are also no standard guidelines for a diagnostic algorithm. Radiological techniques for the diagnosis of an anastomotic leakage include sonography, X-ray, fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT). Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) could be helpful for the diagnosis of a leakage of a biliary enteric anastomosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a subordinate role in the diagnosis of anastomotic leakage.
