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

Endoscopic vacuum-assisted therapy (EVT) is an emerging technology using wound vacuum-assisted closure systems for gastrointestinal leaks. We present the case of 65-year-old man with esophageal adenocarcinoma who underwent laparoscopic transhiatal esophagogastrostomy, complicated by an anastomotic leak. This is the first case of a novel one-piece EVT device to evaluate the safety and efficacy in treatment of gastrointestinal leaks. Our case demonstrates that this novel EVT device is both safe and effective, with the added benefit of a pre-assembled design that reduces procedural complexity and may facilitate wider adoption of EVT for gastrointestinal leaks.
