Barbed Suture Causing Acute Small Bowel Obstruction Post Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy.
Article in CRSLS : MIS case reports from SLS. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: A case report of small bowel obstruction related to barbed suture in a postoperative patient of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Case Description: A 61 -year-old female with a body mass index of 27 with vault prolapse underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. The patient was discharged on postoperative day two. She presented again in the emergency department on the fifth postoperative day with complaints of frequent vomiting episodes with intermittent and colicky pain in the abdomen. Her imaging (computed tomography abdomen/pelvis with oral contrast) suggested distal small bowel mechanical obstruction at midileum with significant free fluid in the peritoneum. Emergency laparoscopic exploration was done. Peroperative V-Loc Conclusion: Bowel complication is an uncommon but serious issue following the use of barbed sutures. It should be used with utmost caution as none of the preventive measures are completely safe. Further studies need to be done for preventive measures.
