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

purposeRoux-en-Y gastric bypass is a common bariatric procedure. Its configuration creates an excluded gastric remnant, which is subject to potential acute complications such as bleeding, perforation, and necrosis. MATERIAL AND

methodsA retrospective analysis of a prospective database including all patients presenting between 2007 and 2019 to our institution with acute gastric remnant complications after RYGB was performed.

resultsSeven patients were included, including 3 hemorrhages, two of which were treated with double-balloon enteroscopy, as well as 3 perforations and 1 necrosis, all of which required emergent surgery. Overall gastric remnant complication rate was 0.3% in this series.

conclusionAcute gastric remnant complications after RYGB are infrequent, but their diagnosis and management can be challenging. Double-balloon enteroscopy has diagnostic and therapeutic value for selected patients. Emergent surgery remains the standard of care for unstable patients and should not be delayed.
