Metabolic Effect of the Hepatic Branch of the Vagal Nerve in One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB).
Article in World journal of surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is often performed not only to lose weight, but also to improve obesity-related comorbidities. A certain metabolic effect of the bariatric techniques has been demonstrated, as the improvement or even remission of comorbidities is patent, before having lost a relevant amount of weight. The autonomic innervation of diverse viscera by the vagus nerve has been hypothesized to participate in it. We aimed to evaluate the ponderal and metabolic impact of the preservation of the hepatic branch of the vagus in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients undergoing one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe conducted a prospective study on patients with a preoperative diagnosis of morbid obesity and T2D, who underwent an OAGB. Preservation of the hepatic branch of the vagus was carried out in the first 14 patients (Group 1), whereas in another 14 patients it was sectioned. Ponderal and metabolic outcomes were assessed 1 and 2 years after surgery.
resultsThe length of the biliary limb was 210 cm in both groups. Postoperative BMI or excess BMI loss was not significantly different between groups. The patients included in Group 1 showed a statistically greater improvement in glycemic and lipid variables.
conclusionThe preservation of the hepatic branch of the vagus in an OAGB leads to more favorable postoperative glycemic and lipid profiles.
