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

backgroundOver the years, many treatment modes have been attempted for gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Minimally invasive techniques for GCF treatment include stent placement and radiological percutaneous glue treatment (GT). MATERIAL AND

methodTen patients underwent a radiological acrylate mixed with contrast medium GT combined or not with other treatment strategies such as relaparoscopy, ultrasound, or computerized tomography scan (CT scan)-guided drain and endoscopic stent placement.

resultsTen patients (mean age 47.1 years, range 64-29) were treated by percutaneous injection of glue after LSG leak. Body mass index (BMI) was 42.2 kg/m(2) ± 6.7 at the time of LSG surgery. Mean time between LSG and leak diagnosis was 12 days (range 4-31 days). GT was only effective when performed after endoscopic stent placement (80 % resolution). With this regimen, five patients required a laparoscopic Roux limb placement. All fistulas eventually healed a mean of 75 days (range 29-293 days) after GCF diagnosis.

conclusionsPercutaneous glue treatment alone does not seem to provide adequate results. Stenting previous to the glue treatment allows for better results.
