Revisional Surgery for Insufficient Loss or Regain of Weight After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Biliopancreatic Limb Length Matters.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionWeight regain after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) occurs in up to 35% of patients. Revisional surgery may be applied. Conversion from RYGB to a long biliopancreatic limb (BPL) RYGB is a potential option for revisional surgery and short-term results are promising.
methodsAll patients who underwent conversion to long BPL RYGB due to weight loss failure, defined as excess weight loss (EWL) < 50% or body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m
resultsA total of 28 patients received revisional surgery from either PRYGB (n = 22) or VVLL RYGB (n = 6). Mean age at operation was 45.3 ± 10.4 years, with 78% females. Mean prerevisional BMI was 41.7 ± 4.4 kg/m
conclusionConversion from RYGB to BPL RYGB leads to significant additional weight loss in the long term. However, the morbidity is relevant, especially severe protein malnutrition and the frequency of revisional surgery. Therefore, this type of surgery should not be done routinely.
