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

The evidence base of the outcomes of stent placement for post-metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) leaks appears inconsistent. Using three electronic databases, we undertook a scoping review of the literature to identify reasons why this could be the case. Twenty-one published items were included. We observed discrepancies pertaining to definitions of stent success/failure, time frames used for such definitions, characteristics of calculating and reporting stent outcome rates, and inconsistent predictors of stent success, and there were no predictive models of post-MBS stent outcomes. Potential solutions are proposed to these challenges as initial steps to standardized definitions, more clarity, and predictive models rendering calculation of rates and their comparisons more accurate. Attention to these could contribute to a rigorous evidence of stent outcomes and their predictors.
