Use of a novel helical tack system for the management of challenging upper gastrointestinal defects.

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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsIncreasingly, gastroenterologists are being asked to assist in the closure of defects. Although there are several available tools that can be used for defect closure, there remains a need for devices that are easy to use, effective, and durable. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the use of a novel helical tack system in the closure of upper GI defects.
methodsTwo cases of challenging upper GI defects were identified. One case involved a perforated duodenal ulcer, and the other involved a nonhealing marginal ulcer. In both cases, the helical tack system was used for defect closure.
resultsIn both cases, defect closure was achieved using the helical tack system; however, 2 series of tacks were required in each case. There were no adverse events. Neither patient has required additional surgical or endoscopic interventions.
conclusionsThe helical tack system is a new device that may be useful for the closure of challenging upper GI defects. Additional comparative studies are needed to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of this system relative to other closure tools.
