The Impact of EndoVAC in Addressing Post-Esophagectomy Anastomotic Leak in Esophageal Cancer Management.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a major complication after esophagectomy, especially in patients with esophagogastric cancers who have undergone neoadjuvant therapies, which can impair tissue healing. Endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure (EndoVAC) is an innovative approach aimed at managing AL by facilitating wound drainage, reducing infection, and promoting granulation tissue formation, thus supporting effective healing. This review explores the role and effectiveness of EndoVAC in treating AL post-esophagectomy in esophageal cancer patients. We present an overview of its physiological principles, including wound contraction, enhanced tissue perfusion, and optimized microenvironment, which collectively accelerate wound closure. In addition, we examine clinical outcomes from recent studies, which indicate that EndoVAC is associated with improved leak resolution rates and potentially shorter hospital stays compared to traditional methods. Overall, this review highlights EndoVAC as a promising tool for AL management and underscores the need for continued investigation to refine its protocols and broaden its accessibility. By optimizing EndoVACs use, multidisciplinary teams can improve patient outcomes and advance esophageal cancer care.
