Gastric Fistula After Sleeve Gastrectomy: Clinical Features and Treatment Options.
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 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeTo trace the clinical profile of fistula cases after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic treatments and the admission costs of these patients.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of patients who developed gastric fistulas after SG. All patients were submitted to surgical and/or endoscopic interventions (self-expandable stent, septotomy, and balloon dilation). The main studied variables were need for reoperation, number of endoscopic procedures, endoscopic complications, time until fistula diagnosis, fistula location, time until resolution, length of hospital stay, and health costs.
resultsThe sample was mainly female (76.2%) with a mean age of 39.5 years and a BMI of 39.6 kg/m
conclusionThe surgical and endoscopic treatment of gastric fistulas after SG was safe and effective. There was a very low rate of complications. The time of onset of fistulas was not decisive for patient improvement.
