The Use of the Overstitch to Close Perforations and Fistulas.
Review in Gastrointestinal endoscopy clinics of North America, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Endoscopic suturing allows for select patients with perforations, leaks, and fistulas to be managed endoscopically. Experience with the Overstitch endoscopic suturing device suggests it may be superior to endoclips in the management of perforations, because of its ability to achieve full-thickness suturing and create an airtight closure. Although successful closure of leaks and fistulas using the Overstitch device has been described, additional therapy with a multimodality approach is often required because of inherent challenges with fistula recurrence. This article reviews the existing literature on the Overstitch endoscopic suturing system specifically in the management of gastrointestinal perforations, leaks, and fistulas.
