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

Gastropleural fistula (GPF) is a rare complication following bariatric surgery, most commonly reported after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, with no previously documented cases following single anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI). Endoscopic stenting is considered the primary management strategy for post-bariatric gastric fistulas and generally demonstrates a high success rate. However, stent migration remains a significant complication that can result in considerable morbidity. We report a case of a 32-year-old male who developed a chronic GPF following the SASI procedure. Initial management involved endoscopic stenting; however, the patient experienced recurrent stent migration, which ultimately resulted in small bowel obstruction. This complication necessitated an exploratory laparotomy and subsequent bowel resection. The persistent stent migration observed in this case may be linked to abnormal gastrointestinal motility changes following bariatric surgery. This case highlights the need to consider early surgical intervention in select cases and emphasizes the importance of prospective studies investigating post-SASI motility changes.
