Empyema Caused by Gastropleural Fistula Post Complicated Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Gastropleural fistula (GPF) can occur as a rare complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Here, we present the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and outcome of a 19-year-old female who underwent LGS in Mother and Child Hospital in Shiraz, Iran, but due to leakage in the proximal of the stapler line, the operation converted to a single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass to decrease intraluminal pressure and accelerate healing of leakage site. Three months later, the patient admitted with the impression of empyema and diagnosed finally with a GPF. Although the conversion of LSG to SASI bypass for post leakage may be efficient in controlling the intraabdominal leakage, it will not prevent GPF formation, so applying another surgery method such as classic bypass in this situation may be more effective in the management of stapler line leakage.
