Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with hinged double flap method using knotless barbed absorbable sutures: A case series.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundIntracorporeal reconstruction following laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy is technically challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of knotless barbed absorbable sutures in esophagogastrostomy closure using the hinged double flap method. DESIGN &
methodThe subjects comprised patients with gastric cancer who were scheduled to undergo laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy. The V-Loc™ 180 wound closure device (V-Loc; Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA) was used for all laparoscopic esophagogastrostomy closures. Between January 2015 and November 2016, 13 patients were enrolled.
resultsThe mean suturing time was 109.6 min. Median hospital stay was 14 days. One anastomotic minor leakage occurred in an esophagogastrostomy and it was managed conservatively. Twelve of 13 patients did not exhibit any symptoms of reflux esophagitis.
conclusionThese results suggest the use of the unidirectional barbed absorbable suture is safe and produce reproducible results for esophagogastrostomy closure using the hinged double flap method.
