Cyanoacrylate sealant compared to fibrin glue in staple line reinforcement during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Pilot prospective observational study.
Observational study in Il Giornale di chirurgia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with serious complications, such as staple line leaks and bleeding. This paper presents a novel approach aimed at the successful consolidation of the suture by the use of the cyanoacrylate, here compared to the use of fibrin glue. Fifty consecutive patients, recruited from October 2015 to March 2016, were submitted to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy by standardized surgical technique. The staple line was reinforced with cyanoacrylate or fibrin glue. There were no post-operative complications and no operative time prolongation. An early removal of the draining and a reduction of the average hospitalization were observed. The results suggest that staple line reinforcement with cyanoacrylate during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is as easy, safe and cost-saving as with fibrin glue. Furthermore, cyanocrilate allows a chemical omentoplasty with the result of restoring the anatomy. Therefore, this approach is viable and useful for future trials on the efficacy in preventing surgical post-operative complications.
