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

backgroundWeight regain is common after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

objectivesTo assess the mechanisms of weight loss after 2 gastrojejunal anastomotic reduction (GJAR) procedures to treat weight regain.

settingUniversity hospital, United States.

methodsForty-three Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients with weight regain were prospectively enrolled. Weight, ghrelin levels, responses to the 21-item three-factor eating questionnaire, and gastrojejunal anastomotic diameter were assessed. Nine patients underwent endoscopic suturing and 34 patients underwent sclerotherapy. At 3 months, weight, ghrelin levels, eating behavior, and outlet diameter were reassessed.

resultsPatients were aged 47±10 years and regained 43%±26% of maximal lost weight. Ghrelin levels were 123±106 ng/mL and outlet diameter was 21±6.3 mm. At 3 months, the entire cohort lost 4.1%±5.9% of total weight (TBW) and showed improvement in cognitive eating habits (P<.01). Endoscopic suturing and sclerotherapy patients lost 10.4%±2.2% TBW and 2.7%±5.5% TBW (P<.01), respectively. Suturing and sclerotherapy reduced the outlet diameter by 15.0±6.7 mm and 2.6±5.7 mm (P<.01). Ghrelin levels increased after suturing by 46±55 ng/mL and decreased by 37±110 ng/mL after sclerotherapy (P = .02). Suturing resulted in greater improvement in cognitive eating behavior than sclerotherapy (P = .03). Reduction in outlet size and changes in cognitive and emotional eating behaviors were predictors of weight loss after GJAR on a univariate analysis. On a multivariate analysis, the only predictor of weight loss was a reduction in outlet size (P< .01).

conclusionsEndoscopic suturing resulted in greater reduction in outlet size, improvement in eating behavior, and weight loss than sclerotherapy. Reduction of anastomosis size was a significant predictor of weight loss after GJAR.
