Successful laparoscopic reversal of gastric bypass in a patient with malnutrition.
Article in Annals of surgical treatment and research, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures around the world. Although RYGB is the gold standard for treating morbid obesity, it carries the risk of rare but serious long-term complications from malnutrition. We report a case of laparoscopic reversal of RYGB. A female patient reported prolonged incapacitating postprandial pain that consequently made her avoid proper oral intake. Therefore, she became seriously malnourished at 30 months after RYGB and requested reversal of RYGB into normal anatomy. The operation was successfully performed via laparoscopy. Operating time was 120 minutes, and intraoperative blood loss was 20 mL. The patient was discharged without any complications directly related to surgical procedures, although her hospital stay was prolonged by the treatment of asymptomatic septicemia of unknown origin. Laparoscopic reversal of RYGB into normal anatomy is technically feasible and might be performed safely after thorough preoperative evaluation in carefully selected patients.
