Review in Obesity surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06543316 (Accelerated Marginal Ulcer Healing With Low-Thermal Argon Plasma Endoscopic Treatment), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

As the demand for obesity surgery grows, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass remains the most commonly performed procedure associated with low complication rates and good long-term co-morbidity resolution and weight loss. Marginal ulcers remain a cause of significant morbidity in medium and long term and are reported in every large series of this operation. Marginal ulceration is a complex problem with unclear aetiology and lack of clear consensus on its prevention and management. A clearer understanding of the available evidence regarding the prevention and treatment of marginal ulcers is needed to improve patient care. We propose an algorithm for management of patients with marginal ulcers based on the best available evidence in the literature.
