Favorable outcome of a gastrocutaneous fistula managed with EndoVAC therapy post-bariatric surgery: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. 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
This case report details the successful management of a gastrocutaneous fistula following bariatric surgery using endoluminal vacuum-assisted closure therapy (EVT/EVAC). Recognized increasingly in recent literature as an effective minimally invasive approach, EVT promotes fistula closure through continuous negative pressure applied via endoscopically placed sponges, facilitating wound drainage, tissue granulation, and defect healing. The patient's favorable outcome underscores EVT's potential as a safe alternative to surgical repair, especially in complex or refractory cases. A review of current evidence highlights high success rates and safety profiles for EVT in managing postbariatric leaks and fistulas, emphasizing its growing role in endoscopic therapeutic strategies.
