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

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) stands as one of the most frequently performed bariatric procedures in the USA. While hiatal hernia or intrathoracic migration of the staple line is frequently described as a chronic complication, this review article sheds light on the seldom-discussed acute presentation of this alarming complication. We present a compelling case of a young female who experienced sudden and intractable vomiting shortly after LSG. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, upper gastrointestinal imaging (UGI) and computed tomography (CT) scans unequivocally confirmed incarcerated intrathoracic migration of the gastric sleeve, necessitating immediate surgical intervention. Radiologists must be equipped with the knowledge to recognize subtle yet crucial imaging findings from UGI and CT scans to ensure timely intervention, thus mitigating the risks associated with this underreported acute complication of LSG and ultimately improving patient outcomes and safety.
