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

Obesity is a chronic disease with pandemic levels of prevalence worldwide. The most often performed bariatric procedure is sleeve gastrectomy. Although the patient's history may not indicate preoperative imaging studies, coincidental findings of unexpected pathology are not uncommon, such as leiomyoma. A 41-year-old female was scheduled to laparoscopic gastric sleeve with no contraindications for surgery. A tumor-like mass was identified on the left lateral face of the distal third of the esophagus. Trans-surgical endoscopy and pneumatic test were performed to rule out any type of communication. The surgeon managed to remove the tumor mass, that was sent to histopathological study, and concluded the procedure without complications. Benign tumors of the esophagus are rarely found lesions. Occasionally unexpected findings may occur during surgery, and they should be resolved intraoperatively when possible to allow the completion of the originally planned surgical procedure.
