EUS-Guided Transrectal Evacuation of Organized Pelvic Collection Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass After Failure of Radiological and Surgical Approach.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionPostoperative collections are an important cause of morbidity following obesity surgery. Surgical revision is most often required if general sepsis is present. Conservative treatment consists of broad spectrum antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of any collection. EUS drainage is a new technique that is gaining momentum allowing an easy access to collections close to the GI tract. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe present the case report of a 39-year-old woman who underwent to robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity. She developed a jejuno-jejunal dehiscence treated with revision surgery. Afterward, a pelvic collection/hematoma was highlighted; however, neither percutaneous approach nor surgery succeeded in draining it.
resultsEUS-guided deployment of a fully covered lumen-apposing metal stent was performed. Subsequently, two necrosectomies were required to remove necrotic tissue and clots from the perirectal cavity. Finally, three double pigtail stents were deployed to promote healing. The patient spontaneously expelled the stents with the stool, and she is asymptomatic after a follow-up of 3 months.
conclusionEUS transmural rectal drainage may represent a sound option for the treatment of pelvic postoperative collections. FCLAMS deployment guarantees a rapid drainage allowing to perform an endoscopic necrosectomy.
