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

introductionGastric diverticulum is a rare condition, often asymptomatic and incidentally detected. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a widely performed bariatric procedure, but a gastric diverticulum complicates surgical planning. In this case, careful preoperative assessment allowed safe execution of LSG despite the diverticulum's proximity to the esophagogastric junction. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old woman (BMI: 46.8 kg/m

conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of thorough preoperative evaluation when performing LSG in patients with gastric diverticulum. Accurate endoscopic measurement of the diverticulum's location aids in determining the optimal resection line, ensuring surgical safety and efficacy. Surgeons should remain vigilant when encountering such anatomical variations to optimize outcomes in bariatric surgery.
