Pericardial patch ring Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a preliminary report.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundLaparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective treatment for morbid obesity. Failure of weight loss has been reported in 10 to 30% of RYGB patients. Silastic ring RYGB was introduced to minimize failure rate, however, with higher complication rate. The aim of our study is to evaluate the safety of utilizing pericardial patch as a ring on RYGB patients.
methodsBetween March 2010 and June 2011, a total of 189 patients underwent pericardial patch ring RYGB at the Bariatric and Laparoscopy Center. A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database was performed for all pericardial patch ring RYGB patients, noting the outcomes and complications of the procedure.
resultsPericardial patch ring RYGB patients demonstrated a mean percentage of excess weight loss of 57.4% at a mean follow-up of 11 months. Out of 164 patients with follow-up, five (3.0%) patients required endoscopic balloon dilation due to dysphagia, abdominal pain, and/or gastric outlet obstruction. All patients did well after the procedure. Three (1.8%) patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for abdominal pain. Of these patients, one (0.6%) had dilated and enlarged blind limb, and two (1.2%) patients had partial small bowel obstruction. No patient was readmitted or reoperated due to pericardial patch ring.
conclusionsLonger follow-up is needed to prove the true efficacy of this procedure in reducing weight gain. Pericardial patch ring RYGB seems to be a safe alternative for banded RYGB of other materials.
