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.

Abstract

introductionThe outcomes of failed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies (LSG) converted to laparoscopic standard R-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in case of insufficient weight loss (IWL), weight regain (WR), and/or severe gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) are scanty. PURPOSE: To evaluate incidence, indications, and short-term outcomes of LSG conversion to LRYGB in three bariatric centers.

methodsPatients operated between January 2012 and December 2016 by primary LSG, with mean follow-up of 24 months and converted to LRYGB for IWL, WR, and/or GERD, were retrospectively analyzed for demographics, operative details, perioperative complications, comorbidities evolution, and further WL.

resultsThirty patients (2.76%, 7 M/23 F, mean age 41 ± 10.1 years, initial mean BMI 46.9 ± 6.3 kg/m

conclusionsIn high-volume centers, where strict criteria for patients' selection for LSG are applied, the expected incidence of reoperations for "non-responder" (IWL/WR) or de novo or persistent severe GERD non-responder to medical treatment is low (< 3%). Conversion of "non-responder" LSG to LRYGB is effective for further WL and GERD remission at short term (2 years follow-up); however, a high postoperative complication rate was observed. Long-term multidisciplinary follow-up is mandatory to confirm data on WL durability and comorbidity control.
