Atypical fundal perforation: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. 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
Gastric perforations typically occur in the distal stomach, along the greater curvature or the antrum. The vast majority of upper gastrointestinal (GI) perforations are caused by peptic ulcer disease. We present a case of an atypical location of gastric perforation. A 31-year-old patient was experiencing nausea and severe abdominal pain. Explorative laparoscopy revealed a large fundal perforation. The patient underwent an abdominoplasty 5 days before with revisional surgery for hemorrhage. He had recently lost 42 kg after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) 8 months before. ESG is a minimally invasive alternative for bariatric surgery. Since its implementation, several studies have been published indicating the procedure as safe. However, some major adverse events, such as upper GI-bleeding, peri-gastric leak, and pneumoperitoneum, have been described. The atypical location of the perforation might be explained by a combination of events such as surgical stress, revisional surgery, major weight loss, and the history of ESG.
