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
introductionStaple-line leak and haemorrhage are the most serious complications following sleeve gastrectomy. The operation is often performed without prior endoscopy. Given that gastric inflammatory conditions are common, could they predispose patients to suffering a serious complication following sleeve gastrectomy?
methodsConsecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy from March 2007 to May 2014 were included in the study. All final histologic reports were coded and investigated against whether or not the patient had a post-operative leak and/or haemorrhage. Associations were explored using Fisher's exact test.
resultsOver this period, 976 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies were performed with a pre-operative gastroscopy rate of 2.2%. Over half of the specimens demonstrated a histopathologic abnormality. Helicobacter pylori infection occurred in 8.6%, and the most common histopathologic abnormality was chronic gastritis in 38.9%. There was no association between H. pylori infection or inflammation and staple-line leak and/or haemorrhage.
conclusionWe conclude that inflammatory gastric conditions are unlikely to predispose patients to staple-line leaks or haemorrhages following sleeve gastrectomy and that selective pre-operative gastroscopy may be an appropriate standard of care.
