Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass After Failed Vertical Banded Gastroplasty: 2-Year Follow-up of 102 Patients.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) is now discarded from being a restrictive procedure for morbid obesity due to its many drawbacks, doubtful efficacy, and lots of post-operative complications. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most commonly performed procedure for VBG revision. So we aimed at reporting our experience in conversional RYGB for a failed VBG. MATERIAL AND
methodsAnalyzing follow-up records of 102 patients who underwent revisional RYGB after failed VBG in the period from April 2014 to January 2018.
resultsA total of 102 laparoscopic revisions of failed VBGs to RYGB were performed. The mean operating time was 161.9 min ±29.2 and the mean length of the hospital stay was 1.5 days ±1.2. Fourteen patients (13%) developed early post-operative complications (gastrojejunostomy leak 5; bleeding 9). Four patients (4.7%) developed late complications (Port site hernia 2; internal hernia 1; Stomal ulcer 1). The mean BMI pre-RYGB was 46.6 ± 5.9 kg/m
conclusionConversion of VBG to RYGB is a feasible procedure and is associated with acceptable early morbidity rates and reduced lengths of hospitalization also it provides acceptable weight loss and improvement in obesity-related health problems. Graphical Abstract.
