Endoscopic Closure Techniques for Perforations, Leaks, and Fistulae: Review Article.
Review in GE Portuguese journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Full-thickness gastrointestinal tract defects (FGTDs) have been an unsettling occurrence in clinical practice, with an increasing incidence due to the growing use of third-space endoscopy and surgical procedures. With advancing technology, many of these events are now being managed endoscopically in a minimally invasive manner, and surgery is being increasingly reserved for refractory cases. Available devices for their treatment include through-the-scope clips, over-the-scope clips, endoscopic suturing devices, self-expandable metal stents, and endoscopic vacuum therapy. Summary: In this review, we present available literature on different techniques for endoscopic defect closure and discuss their indications, efficacy, and limitations. Key Messages: There is a scarcity of guidelines regarding FGTD endoscopic treatment. Selection of devices is still largely dependent on endoscopist's preference, while considering defect size, chronicity, characteristics of adjacent mucosa, and device availability.
