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

backgroundLaparoscopic gastric bypass for morbid obesity is a technically demanding procedure, partially because of the necessity to construct two anastomoses. In this study, a new technique to perform the entero-enterostomy is presented.

methodsWe evaluated the procedure in a consecutive series of 100 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass. Intra- and postoperative complications were analyzed.

resultsNo complications in relation to the construction of the entero-enterostomy occurred. No leakage, kinking, or stenosis were observed during a mean follow-up of 13.5 months (range 6-20 months).

conclusionThis new technique for a totally stapled entero-enterostomy can be recommended.
