Endoscopic filling with polyglycolic acid sheets and fibrin glue of persistent fistula after esophagectomy.
Article in Endoscopy, 2021. 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
backgroundTreatment of anastomotic leakage in reconstruction after esophagectomy remains challenging. This report presents a new endoscopic filling method for persistent fistula after failure of conservative treatment of leakage caused by anastomotic insufficiency.
methods10 of 14 patients, in whom post-esophagectomy leakage had failed to resolve after 2 weeks of conservative treatment, underwent endoscopic filling with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet and fibrin glue into the anastomotic leakage site, using a delivery tube and endoscopic catheter, respectively.
resultsEach patient underwent jejunostomy, to secure nutrition. The leakage was resolved in all 10 patients. The mean number of PGA - fibrin glue procedures was 1.7. The mean period from the first application to the resumption of oral intake was 31.6 days, from the final application it was 14.7 days.
conclusionsThe reported filling method offers a new endoscopic approach for persistent fistula after esophagectomy when conservative treatment of leakage has failed.
