Absorbable antibacterial envelope in the surgical management of Twiddler's syndrome in a patient with gastric electric stimulator: a case report.

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
Gastroparesis is a chronic gastric motility disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying and a multitude of troublesome symptoms, including chronic nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, malnutrition, and dehydration. Whereas initial management of the gastroparesis is conservative, patient with refractory gastroparesis may benefit from surgical therapy, including gastric electric stimulator (GES) device implantation. Twiddler's syndrome is a challenging condition well described in the cardiac literature that is characterized by the instability, displacement, leads twisting and resulting malfunction of an implanted device, believed to be due to manipulation (twiddling) by the patient. The condition is not specifically characterized in the GES literature; however, evidence suggest the incidence of the Twiddler's syndrome is reaching up to 9% of the patients with GES. In the current report we present a case of surgical management of the recurrent Twiddler's syndrome in a patient with a GES device with novel non-FDA approved use of the TYRX
