Diagnosis and treatment of the afferent loop syndrome.
Review in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Afferent loop syndrome (ALS) is a mechanical complication that arises after gastric surgery with gastrojejunostomy reconstruction. This condition was first described in 1950 by Roux, Pedoussaut, and Marchal to post-gastrectomy patients with bilious vomiting. Acute ALS is associated with complete obstruction and considered a surgical emergency, whereas chronic ALS is mostly related to partial obstruction of the afferent loop. The delay in diagnosis may lead to intestinal ischemia, perforation and can be associated with a high mortality rate up to 60%. Surgery is usually the mainstay treatment of ALS, but endoscopic therapy, including stent placement in malignancy-related, anastomotic stricture dilation, has been evolving over the past recent years.
