Biologically inspired gastrointestinal stapler design: "Getting to Zero" complications.
Review in American journal of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
As next generation stapling devices enter the marketplace with robotic adaptations, tri-staple technology, preloaded reinforcement materials, etc., in this perspective piece we assert that a "refresh" in our understanding of the mechanisms of action of these devices is needed. While much attention has been paid to explain the mechanical features of one device versus another, it seems that little to no attention is being paid to understand how an intestinal anastomosis responds biologically to the variations in their use and design. Here we will review various aspects of gastrointestinal stapling in the context of emerging technology in the field and expose the gaps in knowledge that exist regarding the effect of gastrointestinal stapling on the biology of healing.
