Effectiveness and safety of bovine pericardium patch repair for cervical anastomotic leakage after oesophagectomy for cancer.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bovine pericardium patch (BPP) repair for cervical anastomotic leakage after esophageal squamous cancer.
methodsIntractable cervical anastomotic leakage developed in 7 patients of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing cervical anastomosis. These patients received the BPP repair. The necrotic tissue around the cervical anastomosis was removed during the operation, and the defect was repaired with BPP according to the size of the leakage.
resultsThe operative duration was 60-90 min (median, 75 min). There were no signs of recurrent anastomotic leakage in each patient undergoing BPP repair. Oral intake was initiated 5-8 days (median, 6 days) after the BPP repair operation without any discomfort.
conclusionsThe BPP repair is a safe and effective processing scheme for patients with cervical anastomotic fistula after resection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This method may be recommended for appropriate patients with intractable cervical anastomotic fistula.
