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

objectiveA new technique for endoscopic plication and revision of the gastric pouch (EPRGP) for patients who underwent gastric bypass (RGB) surgery was evaluated in patients with severe GERD, dumping syndrome, failure of weight loss, or all of these. PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients underwent EPRGP over a 12-month period. The StomaphyX device (Endogastric Solutions, Redmond, WA) was utilized over a standard flexible gastroscope. Patients were kept on a liquid diet for 1 week.

resultsThe study included 64 patients with a mean age of 48 years who underwent 67 procedures. EPRGP was performed an average of 5 years after RGB. The mean preoperative BMI was 39.5 kg/m². The primary indications for the procedure were inadequate weight loss, dumping syndrome (42), and GERD (15). The mean follow-up period was 5.8 months (range, 3 to 12). The average operative time was 50 minutes, with a significant reduction with increased operator experience. There were only 2 (3%) intraoperative complications during the early period (equipment failure), which did not result in any morbidity. All symptoms from dumping syndrome or reflux improved, with no further operative-related complications. The mean weight loss was 7.3 kg.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the technical feasibility, safety, and efficacy of EPRGP.
