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

objectiveTo evaluate the long-term effect of the duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) on weight loss and glycemic control.

backgroundData on the long-term effect of DJBL treatment is still missing.

methodsFrom 2010 to 2012, 29 patients were treated with the DJBL at center A and center B, as part of a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Prior to implantation and after removal of the DJBL, all patients underwent standardized physical examination and blood sampling. Four years after removal of the DJBL, included patients underwent standardized physical examination and blood sampling as previously performed during the initial study.

resultsOut of the 29 patients, 15 patients were eligible for follow-up with a median duration of 42 months. Five patients had successfully received additional bariatric surgery. Four years after explantation of the DJBL, median weight in these 15 patients was 102.0 kg (IQR 94.0-124.6), which was not statistically significantly different from the 106.1 kg at baseline (IQR 99.0-128.4). Median BMI changed from 33.1 kg/m

conclusionsThe effect of weight reduction of initial DJBL treatment seems to be diminished after 4 years of follow-up. However, larger prospective studies with long-term follow-up need to be conducted in the future.
