1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo investigate the application of endoscopic injection of human fibrin sealant in treatment of patients with intrathoracic anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy.

methodsA total of 179 patients who underwent intrathoracic anastomosis after esophageal cancer surgery in our department From December 2012 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data and treatment of 7 patients with postoperative intrathoracic anastomotic leakage were analyzed and discussed. On Day 28 after operation, the 7 patients were given endoscopic injection of human fibrin sealant to seal the anastomotic leakage, and the changes in drainage volume, body temperature, CRP, white blood cell count and other indicators were compared before and after endoscopic intervention.

resultsAfter endoscopic injection of human fibrin sealant in all 7 patients with intrathoracic anastomotic leakage, the volume of para-anastomotic drainage, CRP, and WBC count were improved compared with those before treatment. Relevant data were analyzed, and the differences were statistically significant (P = 0.019, P = 0.001, P = 0.014, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed in the body temperature before and after treatment (P = 0.217).

conclusionFor patients with intrathoracic anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery, endoscopic injection of human fibrin sealant to seal the anastomotic leakage has positive therapeutic effects of reducing exudation around the anastomotic leakage, reducing systemic inflammatory response, and improving clinical symptoms including dysphagia, weight loss without trying, chest pain, pressure or burning, worsening indigestion or heartburn and coughing or hoarseness.
