Gastropleural fistula after bariatric surgery: a report of two cases.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
introductionGastropleural fistulas (GPF) were first described by Markowitz and Herter in 1960. These are uncommon entities and can occur as a consequence of pulmonary surgery, trauma, malignancy, hiatal hernia, infections, Nissen fundoplication and most recently, bariatric surgery. Many treatments have been used for GPF, such as conservative management with antibiotics, parenteral nutrition, percutaneous drainage of collections and endoscopic therapies, but these usually fail and may lead to complex surgical procedures. CASE DESCRIPTION/OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE: Two patients diagnosed with GPF after bariatric surgeries were treated in our program. After failure of conservative management, both were subjected to laparoscopic-robotic assisted gastropleural fistula resection. Case 1 was a patient who had a sleeve gastrectomy 1 year prior, required partial esophagogastrectomy and esophagojejunal anastomosis. Case 2 had an open gastric bypass 13 years prior, and when medical resolution of fistula was not possible, he underwent a partial remnant gastrectomy and hiatal hernia repair. DISCUSSION: Appearance of gastroplueral fistula after bariatric surgery is a rare occurrence. When surgical management is needed, we have noticed that the use of the robotic platform in these complex surgical cases is safe and feasible.
