Integrated bioabsorbable tissue reinforcement in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

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
Division of the stomach in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may be performed using bare stapler cartridges or cartridges fitted with tissue reinforcement strips, with or without oversewing. Many tissue reinforcement strips are after-market add-on products that must be fitted onto a stapler during surgery. A retrospective review was conducted of 85 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using a novel integrated bioabsorbable polymer buttress pre-mounted on a single-use loading unit stapler. Mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) was 41.7 ± 5.2 kg/m(2). Morbidity and short-term outcomes were documented. Mean follow-up was 8.1 ± 3.6 months (range, 1.0-16.2 months). There were no mortalities or staple line leaks noted in this series with short-term follow up. The major complication rate (grade III and above) was 7.1% and included: reoperation for staple line bleeding (2.4%, n = 2), gastric sleeve stenosis requiring balloon dilation (2.4%, n = 2), choledocholithiasis 2 weeks after surgery (1.2%, n = 1), and reoperation without abnormality for suspected perioperative obstruction (1.2%, n = 1). Mean percent excess BMI loss at 3 (44.6 ± 11.3), 6 (57.9 ± 17.2), and 12 months (72.4 ± 27.5) was comparable to other published series. The use of an integrated absorbable synthetic polymer for stapled tissue reinforcement in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy appears to be feasible and safe, and yields results consistent with other published techniques.
