Feasibility and Importance of Enteroscopy after Gastric Bypass.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundBariatric surgery has increased in popularity, with Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) being one of the most frequently performed. This leads to many cases in which the stomach is removed from routine gastroscopy access, sometimes being a major source of concern. Performing enteroscopy in these patients is technically difficult. We present our experience with 24 cases in which the aim was to access the detached stomach.
methodsRetrospective analysis on RYGB enteroscopy procedures aimed to access the detached stomach. Data recorded: demographic parameters, indication, gas insufflation, time to bypass stomach, total procedure and recovery times, and endoscopic and pathological findings.
resultsThis study included 24 patients who underwent RYGB in the previous 3-36 months. Indications were chronic abdominal pain, refractory anemia, or unexplainable weight loss. Detached stomach was accessed in 79% of patients. Access time ranged from 25 to 55 min. Recovery time for all procedures was 86.66 min on average and shorter with CO
conclusionsWe present the feasibility and importance of enteroscopy of the detached stomach and believe that this procedure should be performed more frequently. A high index of suspicion is needed for postoperative symptoms in order to exclude significant pathologies and reassure symptomatic patients that there is no abnormality in the bypassed stomach.
