Risk Factors and Management Approaches for Staple Line Leaks Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Single-Center Retrospective Study of 402 Patients.

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
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has gained ever-increasing popularity among laparoscopic surgeons involved in bariatric surgery. This single-institution, retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the prevalence of postoperative staple line leakage (PSLL) after LSG and identify risk factors for its development. We included patient data that underwent LSG at our institution for a span of 17 years-starting in January 2005 and ending in December 2022. We set the investigation of correlations of patient-related factors (age, weight, BMI, smoking status, presence of diabetes mellitus) with the occurrence of postoperative leaks. A total of 402 patients were included in our study. Of them, 26 (6.46%) developed PSLL. In total, 19 (73%) patients underwent percutaneous drainage and 14 patients (53.8%) were treated with intraluminal endoscopic stenting. Finally, five patients (19.2%) were treated with endoscopic clipping of the defect. Operative management was required in only one patient. There were no statistically significant differences in patient age, mean weight at the time of operation, and mean BMI. Abnormal drain amylase levels were associated with earlier detection of PSLL. More consideration needs to be given to producing a consensus regarding the management of PSLL, prioritizing nonoperative management with the combination of percutaneous drainage and endoscopic stenting as the safest and most efficient approach.
