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

backgroundSeveral studies have found that metabolic surgery can significantly improve glucose homeostasis; however, the intrinsic mechanisms remain unclear. Accumulating evidence suggests that duodenal bypass plays a crucial role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of duodenal reflux on glucose metabolism in T2DM.

methodsA high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) administration were used to induce T2DM in male rats, which were assigned to three experimental groups: sham operation (SO; n = 10), new duodenal-jejunal bypass (NDJB; n = 10), and new duodenal-jejunal bypass with a tube (NDJBT; n = 10). Weight, food intake, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels, and histopathology were assessed before or after surgery. Plain abdominal radiography was performed 1 week after the operation.

resultsPlain abdominal radiography indicated the occurrence of contrast agent reflux into the duodenum. The body weight and food intake in all three groups did not significantly differ before and after surgery. The NDJB and particularly the NDJBT groups exhibited better glucose tolerance, lower fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, lower area under the curves for OGTT (AUC

conclusionsThus, exclusion of the duodenum alone and tube placement can effectively prevent duodenal reflux and improve glucose homeostasis, which further suggests that the duodenum plays an important role in T2DM.
