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

In this MBSAQIP database study of over 560,000 bariatric procedures, the overall incidence of anastomotic leaks was 0.21%. Robotic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) was associated with a significantly higher leak rate compared to the laparoscopic approach. No significant differences in leak rates were observed between robotic and laparoscopic techniques for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or duodenal switch. Prior foregut surgery and intraoperative drain placement were independently associated with increased risk of leak across all procedures.
