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

Gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF) is a devastating complication that can arise after bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS). This systematic review examines the success rate of closure techniques of GCF. A systematic search was conducted across MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases to identify studies which reported on closure techniques of GCF after BMS in adults. Thirty-three studies (n = 108 patients) were included. Seventeen different techniques were used to close GCF across all studies. The most popular were stents (n = 17), tissue sealants (n = 12) and over-the-scope clips (n = 11). Twenty-one studies used multiple techniques to attempt closure, including endoscopic vacuum therapy and revisional surgery. This systematic review demonstrates current practice focusing on endoscopic methods such as stents and over-the-scope clips, with relative success in closing GCF.
