Staple Line Leaks Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Low Efficacy of the Over-the-Scope Clip.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe over-the-scope clip (OTSC) enables non-surgical management of gastrointestinal defects. The aim of this study was to report our experience with OTSC for patients with staple line leaks following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospectively maintained IRB-approved institutional database was queried for all patients treated with OTSC for staple line leaks following LSG from 2010 to 2018. Primary outcome was complete resolution of leak following OTSC. Secondary outcome was the number of additional procedures needed following OTSC.
resultsTwenty-six patients (13 males, 13 females) were treated with OTSC for staple line leaks following LSG. The median age was 35 years (range 18-62), and mean body mass index was 44 kg/m
conclusionsOTSC carries a low success rate for controlling staple line leaks following LSG.
