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

backgroundThe continuing need for simple, safe, and effective procedures led us to design a new operation for treating morbid obesity.

methodsThirty-two patients underwent our novel procedure, sleeve gastrectomy plus side-to-side jejunoileal anastomosis (SG plus), and were followed for 6 to 24 months. A matched cohort of 32 patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy over the same period and was used as the control group. Weight loss, comorbidity outcomes, and the duodenum to cecum transit time after a gastrografin swallow, performed at postoperative day 4, were compared.

resultsThere were no deaths and no major perioperative complications. Three patients developed long-term complications requiring surgical intervention (intestinal obstruction, nausea-vomiting, and hypoalbuminemia). In the SG plus group, a 77.8 % excess weight loss was achieved at 12 months postoperatively, which was significantly better (p < 0.01) than the 67 % observed in the control group. The comorbidity outcomes, particularly diabetes resolution, were also significantly superior in the SG plus patients. The duodenum to cecum transit time of 11 min in the SG plus group was significantly shorter (p < 0.01) than the 31 min observed in the control group.

conclusionsSleeve gastrectomy plus side-to-side jejunoileal anastomosis appears to be a simple, considerably safe, and effective procedure for treating obesity and its metabolic comorbidities.
