Endoscopic Gastrojejunal Revision (Transoral Outlet Reduction) for Persistent Hypoglycemia After Gastric Bypass.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 patient presented with symptomatic postprandial biweekly hypoglycemic seizures. Her hypoglycemic episodes were aggravated by stress and also occurred during sleep. She managed these hypoglycemic episodes with an endocrinologist, trying both nutritional and medical management without successful control of her symptoms. An endoscopic gastrojejunal revision (EGJR) was recommended to provide more restriction and prolong transit time into the Roux limb to decrease the chance of postoperative dumping syndrome and subsequent hypoglycemia.
methodsThis video is a case study of an EGJR done for persistent postoperative hypoglycemia. The gastroscope was introduced and using Argon Plasma Coagulation at a flow of 8 liters/min and 30 watts; the mucosa around the gastrojejunal stoma was ablated circumferentially. This was done to decrease bleeding from needle placement and to promote adherence of the mucosa after the sutures were placed. The purse-string technique was favored for this procedure due to an inherent reduction in suture tension. Several full-thickness bites were taken to narrow the stoma from 20 to 4 mm in diameter.
resultsThe patient was discharged home the same day following the procedure. She was placed on a two week liquid bariatric postoperative diet. At two week follow-up, the patient reported normal blood sugars and no hypoglycemic episodes since surgery. At six month follow-up, the patient reported significant improvement in her hypoglycemia symptoms, and no further syncopal episodes or seizures.
conclusionWe believe this case demonstrates that endoscopic gastrojejunal revision (or EGJR) is an effective treatment option for postprandial hypoglycemia following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
