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

Posterior gastric vessel is commonly encountered (4-99%) during surgery of the stomach, spleen, and pancreas. Due to high variations in its origin, and course, it has not been unanimously described in literature. Its significance in bariatric surgery is largely neglected. We reviewed videos of 100 bariatric surgery cases done in our institute. This vessel was noted in 88 cases. We could identify the vessel in 54/63 LSG cases and all cases required division to free the fundus. It was identified in 34/37 RYGB cases. Thirty-one cases required lateralization while 3 cases required division due to more medial origin of the vessel. Its division or lateralization facilitates adequate mobilization of fundus to achieve the ideal configuration of sleeve in LSG and pouch in LRYGB.
