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

With the worldwide epidemic of obesity, there has been an increase in the numbers of primary and revisional procedures of bariatric surgery such as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP). Nevertheless, this type of surgery is not exempt from complications. An excessive length of non-functional Roux limb proximal to the jejunojejunostomy can cause abnormal upper gastrointestinal symptoms after laparoscopic RYGBP. We present the case of a female patient who presented these unspecific abdominal symptoms after laparoscopic RYGBP who underwent laparoscopic resection in order to reduce the length of the dilated blind loop responsible for the symptoms.
