Endoscopic treatment of anastomotic leakage after upper gastrointestinal surgery: endoscopic self-expandable metallic stent or endoscopic vacuum therapy?
Review in Clinical endoscopy, 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 serious complication following upper gastrointestinal (UGI) surgery, associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Effective management strategies aim to close or cover the defect, contain the leak, and adequately drain the affected area. In recent years, endoscopic techniques have emerged as viable alternatives or adjuncts to surgical interventions. This review discusses two major endoscopic modalities - self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) and endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) - in anastomotic leaks after gastric and esophageal cancer surgery. By evaluating the efficacy, indications, and limitations of SEMS and EVT techniques, this article provides a comprehensive overview to assist clinicians in optimizing patient outcomes in UGI postoperative anastomotic leaks.
