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

introductionWeight regain after bariatric surgery remains a challenging problem with regard to its surgical management. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 30 year-old-female patient with weight regain after failed laparoscopic gastric plication and previous gastric banding was evaluated in a tertiary-care university setting. Her last body mass index was calculated as 40.4kg/m(2). Preoperative ultrasonography revealed cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with cholecystectomy was planned as a redo surgery. A floopy and plicated stomach with increased wall thickness of the greater curvature was seen. After adhesiolysis between the plicated part of stomach and the surrounding omental tissues, concomitant laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and cholecystectomy were performed. She was discharged on the 4th post-operative day without any complaint. At the postoperative 3rd month, her body mass index was recorded as 24kg/m(2). DISCUSSION: Redo surgery of morbid obesity after failed bariatric surgery is a technically demanding issue. Type of the surgical treatment should be decided by the attending surgeon based on the morphology of the remnant stomach caused by previous operations.

conclusionAs a redo surgery after failed laparoscopic gastric plication and gastric banding procedures, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may be regarded as a safe and feasible approach in experienced hands.
