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

Treatment of medically refractory postprandial hypoglycemia after Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (RYGB) is often unsuccessful. Various operations have been described with poor results. We describe a novel procedure and retrospective review of 8 patients who underwent Roux jejuno-duodenostomy for postprandial hypoglycemic symptoms refractory to dietary modification and medications. Mean follow-up was 35 months. Complete resolution occurred in two of the patients, marked improvement in four, and no improvement in two. The mean frequency of hypoglycemic symptoms decreased from 30 to 7 episodes per week (p = 0.015). One complication was noted with no mortality. Mean weight decreased postoperatively by 0.8 kg (p = 0.93). Conversion to a Roux jejuno-duodenostomy appears to be a safe and effective treatment with maintenance of post-RYGB weight loss in most such cases.
