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 past two decades, there has been a significant rise in bariatric surgery. As a consequence, the prevalence of obese patients with a combined gastric pathology such as a submucosal tumor (SMT) requiring excision at the same time as bariatric surgery is higher but the management remains controversial. We report the safety and effectiveness of a simultaneous laparoscopic transgastric resection of a large gastric SMT near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) with sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

methodsWe present a video report of a 52-year-old male (BMI = 49 kg/m

resultsUsing five ports placed for laparoscopic SG, the gastric SMT was localized through an anterior gastrotomy and fully excised using a linear stapler and the gastrotomy site was closed. SG was then performed over a 54Fr bougie, including the gastrotomy suture closure.

conclusionsSeveral factors play important roles in deciding the best surgical approach for patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery and have concomitant gastric SMTs. This video report describes a safe and effective technique of simultaneous transgastric resection of a lesser curvature gastric SMT near the EGJ in a patient undergoing SG.
