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

backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) continues to grow in popularity as a primary bariatric procedure. The purpose of this study is to determine if leak rates and need for subsequent interventions are changed by the standardized use of a closed suction calibration system (CSCS) at a high-volume urban hospital.

methodsA retrospective review was conducted between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018, on SG patients. All cases performed in 2018 were completed with a closed suction calibration system. Patient demographics, comorbidities, operative variables, and outcomes were collected. Descriptive statistics and chi-squared test were used to compare the two groups. Logistic regression models were adjusted for patient- and procedure-specific factors.

resultsFour hundred ninety cases were performed before and 195 after institution of the CSCS. Groups were similar in most characteristics, including median body mass index (BMI) (46.4 vs 45.8 kg/m

conclusionThe use of a standardized closed suction calibration system resulted in overall decreased leak rates, which was associated with a clinically significant decrease in additional interventions.
