Management of gastropleural leak by video-assisted thoracoscopy after sleeve gastrectomy.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Obesity is a major public health issue with various comorbidities. Sleeve gastrectomy has become a popular treatment for obesity, but it carries the risk of complications, particularly staple line leakage. This case study focused on a 32-year-old woman with grade II obesity and hiatal hernia who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Four days after surgery, she presented with abdominal pain, revealing leakage from the gastric sleeve into the thoracic cavity. Diagnostic procedures and interventions were performed, including cavity lavage, drainage placement, and stent placement. The patient showed clinical improvement after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and a multidisciplinary approach involving nutrition support and antibiotics. Despite the challenges, the patient's clinical course improved, leading to discharge with no evidence of leakage on follow-up endoscopy. Careful monitoring and timely interventions are essential to manage complications in sleeve gastrectomy procedures and ensure optimal patient outcomes.
