Endoscopic and histologic findings of the foregut in 426 patients with morbid obesity.

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
backgroundRoux-en-Y gastric bypass is the most frequent bariatric operation. In this operation, the distal bypassed stomach is left in situ. We studied pre-operative clinical, endoscopic and histologic findings in a consecutive group of morbidly obese patients prior to bariatric surgery.
methodsA prospective study was conducted from August 1999 until May 2004, which consisted of 426 patients with morbid obesity. There were 94 men and 332 women, with mean age 39.5 years. In all patients prior to surgery, upper endoscopy was performed and biopsy samples were taken distal to squamo-columnar junction (cardiac biopsies), and in 232 of them also in at the antrum.
resultsPathological findings at the esophagus were seen in 55% of the patients, mainly related to reflux esophagitis. Barrett's esophagus was seen in 5.8%. In the stomach, pathological findings were seen in 32% of the patients. Active peptic ulcer was demonstrated in 2.6% of the cases. At the duodenum, pathologic findings were detected in 13.4% of the patients, showing an ulcer in 2.6%. At the stomach, chronic inactive gastritis and atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia were found in 8.6% and 6.5% respectively. Antral adenoma with low-grade dysplasia was found in 1 patient, and 1 carcinoid tumor. H. pylori was present in 53% of the patients, mainly in the antrum.
conclusionIn candidates for bariatric surgery, upper endoscopy with biopsy samples and determination of H. pylori should be routinely performed. If present, H. pylori should be eradicated. After surgery, if Barrett's esophagus was present, endoscopic surveillance is recommended.
