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

backgroundRoux-en-Y gastric bypass is the gold standard for weight loss surgery. This procedure creates two to three mesenteric defects, depending on ante-colic versus retro-colic technique. Current literature supports mesenteric defect closure, but there is no consensus on how to best close these defects. Described options include running separate suture lines for each defect, or employing endoscopic staplers for defect closure.

methodsThis is a video/dynamic manuscript on operative technique.

resultsWe describe an alternative technique that does not require an extra laparoscopic instrument and is more efficient than traditional suture lines due to less suturing.

conclusionsThe technique maintains low gastric bypass complication rates by closing mesenteric defects, while keeping intra-operative costs low, and minimizing time spent on the defect closures.
