Anastomotic Leakage after Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery: Surgical Treatment.
Review in Visceral medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundAnastomotic leakage after upper gastrointestinal surgery is associated with major morbidity and mortality. In recent years, there was a major paradigm shift in the management of leakage after upper gastrointestinal surgery from surgical towards conservative and endoscopic treatment approaches as first-line treatment options.
methodsWe conducted a PubMed literature search using combinations of the keywords 'leakage', 'complication', 'esophagectomy', 'gastrectomy', and 'pancreatectomy' to identify relevant publications.
resultsSurgical re-intervention after esophagectomy, gastrectomy, or pancreatectomy is still indicated in selected patients, depending on the severity of symptoms, the condition of the patient, and failure of initiated treatment. Furthermore, surgical revision after esophagectomy and gastrectomy is indicated for early leakage and depends on the extent of anastomotic disruption and the condition of tissue.
conclusionSurgical re-intervention still plays a crucial role in the management of leakage after upper gastrointestinal surgery, especially in critically ill patients and after failure of conservative or endoscopic treatment.
