Barrett's esophagus after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: does regression occur?
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 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
introductionBarrett's esophagus (BE) is recognized as a premalignant lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma. BE appears as a consequence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is increased among obese population. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the best treatment option for obesity combined with GERD. However, data on evolution of BE after LRYGB are scarce. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Patients were studied with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and gastric biopsy preoperatively. If BE was suspected, esophageal biopsy was performed. If BE was confirmed, LRYGB was indicated with yearly surveillance EGD with biopsies. LRYGB patients who had BE with at least 1-year follow-up were included.
resultsBetween 10/07 and 1/16, 2144 patients underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery at our institution. There were 1681 (78 %) LRYGB, 399 (19 %) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies, and 64 (3 %) revisions. Nineteen patients (0.9 %) had BE preoperatively, and they all underwent LRYGB; 11 of them (58 %) were eligible for this study. There were 6 women and 5 men, mean age 49 ± 11 years, initial BMI 44 ± 6 kg/m
conclusionOur preliminary data showed that LRYGB is a suitable treatment option for obese patients with BE, demonstrated by 36 % regression rate of this premalignant disease. Although BE persisted in the remaining patients, no progression to dysplasia was observed. A larger number of patients and longer follow-up are needed for more definitive conclusions.
