Effect of Gastrogastric Fistula Closure in Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been shown to significantly improve glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The formation of a gastrogastric fistula (GGF) allows nutrients to pass through the native route, rather than bypassing the duodenum in typical RYGB configuration. We sought to evaluate the effect of revisional bariatric surgery for known GGF on control of diabetes.
methodsA retrospective chart review of a single academic institution was performed to identify patients who had T2DM at the time of corrective surgery for a GGF. Baseline characteristics, and postoperative outcomes including changes in body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and diabetes medications were assessed.
resultsTen patients were identified with GGF who had T2DM at the time of corrective surgery. Patients had a male-to-female ratio of 2:3, a mean age of 59.2 ± 10 years, a mean baseline BMI of 38.1 ± 17.6 kg/m
conclusionIn patients with diabetes and GGF, a corrective surgery for closure of fistula and restoration of bypass anatomy results in improvement of glucose control and status of diabetes medications. This finding can highlight the potential metabolic significance of duodenal exclusion.
