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

introductionMini gastric bypass-one anastomosis gastric bypass (MGB-OAGB) has been approved as a mainstream metabolic/bariatric procedure by IFSO. Still there are lots of concerns regarding nutritional deficiency after MGB-OAGB. The purpose of this retrospective analysis is to evaluate the effect of biliopancreatic limb (BPL) length on weight loss, comorbidity resolution, and nutritional deficiencies in patients 1 year after MGB-OAGB and to find suitable BPL length. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and one patients who underwent MGB-OAGB were divided into three groups of 150 cm, 180 cm, and 250 cm depending on the length of BPL bypassed. The nutritional parameters (vitamin D

resultsThere was statistically significant difference in number of patients having deficiencies in all the nutritional parameters except globulin between 150 cm and 250 cm groups (P < 0.05). While on comparing 180- and 250-cm group, a statistically significant difference was present in vitamin D

conclusionA 150-cm BPL length is adequate with very minimal nutritional complications and good results. A 180-cm BPL can be used in super obese while a 250-cm BPL should be used with utmost care as it results in significant nutritional deficiencies.
