Sleeve gastrectomy for treatment of delayed gastric emptying-indications, technique, and results.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionDelayed gastric emptying (DGE) can be caused by gastric motility disorders such as gastroparesis with idiopathic background, diabetic neuropathy, or postsurgical nerve damage. Currently, a variety of endoscopic and surgical treatment options are available. We noted clinical improvement of gastric emptying with reduction of the gastric fundus following both fundoplication and fundectomy. As a consequence, we explored the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on gastric emptying. The focus of this paper is to investigate the role of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in the treatment of gastroparesis.
methodsPatients with symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis received diagnostic work-up (gastric emptying scintigraphy and/or Radiographic Barium-Sandwich Emptying studies). Patients with fundic emptying problems and moderate gastric dilation were selected for a LSG. All perioperative parameters were documented regarding patients characteristics, complications, and outcomes expressed as symptoms and quality of life (GIQLI gastrointestinal quality of life index). Assessment of DGE: Barium Emptying Radigraphy Index (BERI) 0-5.
resultsFrom 122 patients with gastroparesis, 19 patients were selected for LSG (mean age 54 years (23-68); 10 males/9 females. Morbidity 2/19; no mortality; follow-up mean 24 months (12-60); preop/postop: BERI: 2, 31/1, 27 (p < 0.01); we noted significant improvement of the quality of life (preoperative GIQLI 78 (44-89)) to postoperative values of 114 (range 87-120) (p < 0.0001). Preoperative median BMI of these 19 patients was 24 [1-10], which was not significantly changed in the 15 patients at > 1 year follow-up with 23 [1-8]. Postoperative recurrence of DGE occurred in 3 patients who were reoperated after >1 year follow-up.
conclusionLSG is a potential surgical treatment option for selected patients with gastroparesis and fundic emptying problems.
