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

backgroundStenosis after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is common though diagnostic criteria and predictors of treatment response is unknown. Endoluminal functional impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP) is a diagnostic tool for measuring lumen geometry. We aimed to use EndoFLIP to characterize SG stenosis.

methodsWe enrolled SG stenosis patients undergoing serial pneumatic dilations between May 2018 and November 2018. Outcomes of interest included pre- and post-dilation EndoFLIP measurements and post-dilation symptom response.

resultsWe included 10 patients who underwent a mean of 1.8 ± 0.7 dilations. Pre-dilation EndoFLIP characteristics were similar for responders and non-responders. Responders had larger mean post-dilation diameter (19.9 ± 2.9 mm vs 13.1 ± 1.3 mm, p = 0.007) and DI (21.3 ± 1.0 mm

conclusionOur pilot study supports the use of EndoFLIP in the management of SG stenosis.
