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

purposeLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric procedure, yet can be followed by complications such as staple line leak and bleeding, vomiting, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Various attempts have been described in the literature to improve the early outcome of LSG through various measures. This study aimed to assess the impact of adding T-shaped omentoplasty to LSG on the short-term outcome of the procedure.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study on patients with morbid obesity who underwent LSG in the period of November 2015 to November 2018. The outcome of patients with morbid obesity who underwent LSG combined with T-shaped omentoplasty (group I) was compared with that of a similar number of patients who underwent classical LSG without staple line fixation (group II). The main outcome measures were the rates of staple line bleeding and leak, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), GERD, gastric axial rotation, other complications, and weight loss.

resultsThe study included 106 patients of a mean BMI of 49.8 kg/m

conclusionStaple line fixation using the T-shaped omentoplasty technique was associated with lower incidence of significant PONV, staple line bleeding, and GERD as compared with classical LSG.
