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

introductionWeight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is increasingly reported in the literature Debs et al. Surg Obes Relat Dis (2016). Laparoscopic resizing of the gastric pouch and the gastrojejunal anastomosis is an accepted surgical option Nguyen et al. (Obes Surg 25:928-34, 2015); Iannelli et al. (Surg Obes Relat Dis 9:260-7, 2013); Al-Bader et al. (Obes Surg 25:1103-8, 2015). The aim of this video is to present a simple technique of en bloc resection.

methodsWe present the case of a 42-year-old woman with a BMI of 44 kg/m

resultsThere are often a lot of adherences between the gastric pouch and the residual stomach, which makes the dissection difficult and tedious, with the possibility to devascularize the residual stomach and lead to a gastric fistula from this residual stomach. We present in this video a simple technique of gastric pouch resizing that consists of en bloc resection of the gastric pouch, the residual stomach, and ± the gastrojejunal anastomosis. We recommend this technique in case of severe adherences and inability to identify a cleavage plane between the excess gastric pouch and the resected stomach.

conclusionInsufficient weight loss or weight regain after RYGBP is becoming more frequently encountered. As a result, revisional surgery will be more frequently performed. This simple technique allows an easier dissection across healthier tissues and is easier to perform in the presence of severe adherences between the gastric pouch and the residual stomach.
