Robotic surgery in the management of synchronous esophageal and gastric perforation after endoscopic dilation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. 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
Upper gastrointestinal perforation is a feared complication of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, with an incidence of perforation between 0.3% and 5%. Even though is rare, the mortality rate can be as high as 40%. Currently, there is no consensus on the best therapeutic strategy and it usually depends on patient stability, the extent of perforation, time to diagnosis, surgeon experience and available resourcesWe present a case of a patient who presented to our institution to undergo an ambulatory oesophageal dilation. After dilation, the patient developed two full-thickness gastric perforations and a full-thickness oesophageal perforation without haemodynamic instability. All perforations were diagnosed and treated with a combination of intraoperative endoscopy and robotic surgery with excellent outcomes.We demonstrate that a robotic approach combined with intraoperative diagnostic endoscopy is a safe and feasible treatment option for esophageal and gastric perforations in a stable patient without large extraluminal contamination.
