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

introductionMarginal ulcer is one of the most common complications after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and is defined as an ulceration of any depth at or near the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Different risk factors have been advocated to be the causative agent. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe weighted discharges from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2003 to 2011 were used to assess for risk factors to develop marginal ulcer such as Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory use, chronic aspirin use, alcohol dependence, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus type II.

resultsChronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use was the most significant risk factor for marginal ulcer, followed by Helicobacter pylori infection, obstructive sleep apnea, female sex, smoking, and alcohol dependence in decreasing order. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were found to slightly increase the risk for marginal ulcer. The use of aspirin was found to be a minor risk factor during univariate analysis but a protective factor during multivariate analysis.

conclusionsMultiple well-documented single factors are related to the genesis of a marginal ulcer, although it is likely that a combination of risk factors is responsible for this problem. These risk factors should be identified and removed or controlled.
