Management of secondary fistulas following bariatric surgery using endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure.

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
Obesity significantly impacts individuals' quality of life. Bariatric surgery, including vertical sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, is effective for long-term weight loss but has increased post-bariatric complications like fistulas. We treated three patients with post-bariatric complications. Cases included a gastropleural fistula secondary to vertical sleeve gastrectomy and an esophagojejunal fistula secondary to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure (EVAC) was used, applying continuous negative pressure via a polyurethane sponge connected to suction. The EVAC technique effectively managed complex post-bariatric fistulas, facilitating closure and improving outcomes. Patient selection and technical expertise are crucial for optimizing EVAC results. This innovative approach offers a promising solution for post-bariatric complications, enhancing recovery and quality of life.
