High-Frequency of Computer Tomography and Surgery for Abdominal Pain After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
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 11 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
introductionAcute, intermittent, and chronic abdominal pain is a common complaint after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
objectivesThe aim of the study was to evaluate the use of medical imaging and the need for surgery treating abdominal pain after RYGB in a cohort with long-term follow-up.
methodsData from 569 patients who underwent RYGB as the primary bariatric procedure at a public hospital in Norway between April 2004 and June 2011 were prospectively registered in a local quality registry for bariatric surgery. All abdominal imaging and abdominal surgical procedures were registered until August 2017.
resultsMean follow-up was 100 months (61-159). During the observation period, 22% had one CT, 9% had two CTs, 4% had three CTs, and 5% had four or more CTs for abdominal pain. Twenty-two percent underwent abdominal surgery, as 16% had one and 6% had two or more operations and gynecological procedures excluded. The purpose of operation was postoperative complications (1.4%), suspected internal herniation (9.3%), cholecystectomy (9.3%), appendectomy (2.3%), hernias (3.2%), and perforated ulcer in the gastrojejunal anastomosis (0.7%). Mean time interval was 42 ± 27 months from RYGB to cholecystectomy and 51 ± 26 months for suspected IH.
conclusionWith a mean follow-up period of more than 8 years after RYGB, 40% of the patients suffered from abdominal pain, needing one or more CT scans. The need for surgery treating suspected internal hernia and cholecystectomy was equal, at 9.3% for both procedures, but the mean time from RYGB to operation was shorter for cholecystectomies.
