Robotic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is it Safer than Laparoscopic Bypass?
Article in Obesity surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
backgroundAlong with the development of technology, robotic approach is being performed for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Some literatures reported same or better peri-operative outcomes with the robotic procedure. The aim of this study is to compare our experience in robot-assisted LRYGB (RA-LRYGB) with LRYGB in terms of peri-operative outcomes.
methodsFrom January 1, 2012 to April 30, 2014, a total of 270 patients underwent LRYGB by one surgeon at a single institution. Of these, 64 cases were done robotically. A retrospective review was performed for these patients, noting the outcomes and complications of the procedure.
resultsThe 64 RA-LRYGB patients had a mean age of 45.9 ± 10.0 years (range, 23-67) and a mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) of 48.4 ± 7.9 kg/m(2) (range, 33.8-76.4). The 207 LRYGB patients had a mean age of 45.0 ± 10.7 years (range, 21-67) and a mean preoperative BMI of 48.4 ± 8.1 kg/m(2) (range, 34.0-80.4). These two groups were clinically comparable. Mean length of hospital stay was 3.0 ± 4.1 days (range, 1-19) in RA-LRYGB patients, significantly longer than 1.6 ± 1.7 days (range, 1-17) in LRYGB patients (p < 0.01). Thirty-day readmission rate was 9.3% (n = 6) in the RA-LRYGB group and 6.8% (n = 14) in the LRYGB group. Higher leak rate was noticed in RA-LRYGB patients at 7.8% (n = 5), compared to 0.5% (n = 1) in LRYGB patients (p < 0.01). All the leaks occurred at the pouch level in the RA-LRYGB group, while one leak from the LRYGB group occurred at the gastrojejunal anastomosis site.
conclusionsRobot-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may result in higher leak rate at the pouch level, when compared to that of laparoscopic procedures.
