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

backgroundThe ideal bariatric operation achieves 70-100 % maintained excess weight loss, is simple with low operative risks, and maintains absorption of trace elements. Our aim was to find a bariatric procedure that achieves the above while avoiding drawbacks of current options.

methodsA standard sleeve gastrectomy was combined with a modified jejuno-ileal bypass dividing the small bowel 75 cm distal to the duodeno-jejunal flexure, anastomosing it to the ileum 75 cm proximal to the ileocaecal valve. Operative and follow-up data were collected prospectively between December 2004 and January 2013.

resultsOne hundred sixty-eight procedures were analysed (110 female, 58 male). Mean patient age was 43 years (IQR 37-47), and median preoperative body mass index (kg/m(2)) was 52 (IQR 49-59). All operations were completed laparoscopically. Excess weight loss was 78 % (IQR 70-83 %, 12 months, n = 168), 79 % (IQR 70-85 %, 24 months), maintained at most recent follow-up with 77 % (IQR 68-84 %, n = 168), and for 8 year follow-up alone 75 % (IQR 66-84 %, n = 18). There was no operative mortality and 5.4 % morbidity. A 6.5 % of patients experienced transient vomiting. No symptoms of dumping or bacterial overgrowth were observed. All had normal liver enzymes. Hypocalcaemia (20.8 %) and zinc deficiency (25.6 %) resolved with oral supplementation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus resolved in 80.3 % and improved in the remainder of patients, hypertension resolved in 92.3 % and improved in the rest.

conclusionsWhilst currently an investigative procedure, and within the studies limitations combined sleeve gastrectomy with modified jejuno-ileal bypass is safe and effective, and evades many problems associated with current bariatric operations whilst offering maintained excess weight loss.
