3D gastric computed tomography as a new imaging in patients with failure or complication after bariatric surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 number of bariatric operations performed each year is increasing. As a result, a rising number of patients in possible need for revisional surgery are referred to bariatric surgeons. But the standard methods of evaluation are often insufficient, and the best strategy remains difficult to choose. In our centre, we have developed 3D gastric computed tomography with air (3D-GCT). The aim of this pilot study was to assess the usefulness of this new image modality as an aid in the decision-making process in patients with failure or complications after bariatric surgery. Twenty patients referred for failure or complications after various bariatric procedures were included in the study. 3D-GCT was performed on a multidetector CT scanner after absorption of effervescent salt diluted in 10 ml of water and IV injection of butylscopolamine. Thin-slice data were transferred to a dedicated 3D workstation creating three-dimensional volume-rendering images of the oesophagus, gastric cavities and anastomoses. The volume of the gastric pouches and the diameter of stoma or anastomoses were measured. No failure or complications were observed. In all patients, 3D-GCT resulted in very impressive precise 3D images of post-surgical anatomy of the stomach. Imaging findings allowed us to identify or to eliminate the common complications of each procedure with a good accuracy, resulting in an aid to choose the best strategy in each patient. In conclusion, our pilot study suggests that 3D-GCT is useful as a decision-making aid in patients with failure or complications after bariatric surgery.
