Reversible bilio-pancreatic diversion with explorable excluded stomach-the Messina technique.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The authors propose a reversible bilio-pancreatic diversion with access to the bypassed stomach. In the Messina technique, bilio-pancreatic diversion is accomplished by transecting the stomach without gastric resection, as already described by Resa et al. In addition, a temporary gastrostomy is performed on the excluded stomach and allows direct postoperative exploration of the duodenum and the biliary tree. The Messina bilio-pancreatic diversion technique (MBPDT) seems to be safe and effective. The authors propose the MBPDT in a morbidly obese patient undergoing bariatric surgery when a malabsorptive operation is required, as it makes the original Scopinaro operation reversible, the bilio-pancreatic area explorable postoperatively, the operation shorter, and does not cause any significant increase in the postoperative complication rate. Larger numbers and longer follow-up, however, are needed to further confirm our data.
