Case Report: Use of the over-the-scope clipping system in a trauma patient for a large bowel anastomotic leak.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Anastomotic leakage is a relatively common and serious complication following gastrointestinal surgery. Traditionally, management has relied on surgical re-intervention with fecal diversion, often followed by a secondary reversal procedure. In recent years, the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system, originally developed for gastrointestinal perforations and bleeding, has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative for selected cases of anastomotic leakage. I report the case of a 47-year-old trauma patient who developed a persistent colonic anastomotic leak following large bowel resection. After failure of conservative management, the defect was successfully closed using the OTSC system, with complete resolution and no post-procedural complications.
