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

backgroundThe safety of performing a one-stage revision from laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has been questioned. The objective of this study was to compare safety and outcomes of one-stage versus two-stage revisional LRYGB performed after failed LAGB.

methodsA retrospective analysis of all patients undergoing revisional LRYGB after failed LAGB between January 2007 and March 2017 was performed. Patients undergoing one- and two-stage revisions were compared. The primary outcome assessed was the early complication rate, while secondary outcomes included late complications, weight loss, and improvement of comorbidities.

resultsDuring the study period, 161 revisional LRYGB's were performed, including 121 one-stage and 40 two-stage procedures. Baseline demographic data, BMI and presence of comorbidities were similar between the groups. In patients undergoing a two-stage procedure, band slippage, port infection, and erosion were more commonly cited as indications for revision. Similar early complication rates were demonstrated between the groups. However, late complications were more common in the two-stage group (20.0% vs. 7.4%, P = 0.03), including higher rates of gastro-gastric fistula (5.0% vs. 0%, P = 0.01) and anemia (10.0% vs. 1.1%, P = 0.02). Three-fourths of the cohort had a follow-up of more than 6 months, and the two groups demonstrated similar weight loss results and improvement/resolution of comorbidities.

conclusionThe performance of one-stage revisional LRYGB after failed LAGB seems to be a safe procedure, with noninferior outcomes when compared to a two-stage revisional procedure. It is a valid option, except in cases of mechanical and infectious band complications.
