Diagnostic imaging in the diagnosis of acute complications of bariatric surgery.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe aim of study is to identify the frequency of acute complications and imaging findings at gastro-intestinal transit (GI) and computerised tomography (CT) in a group of obese patients who developed clinical suspicion of acute complications (painful and meteoric abdomen, nausea, vomiting, fever, intestinal blockage) in post bariatric surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively review 954 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2013 and 2019. The study included 72 patients who developed clinical suspicion of acute complications (painful and meteoric abdomen, nausea, vomiting, fever, intestinal blockage) within 6 days of bariatric surgery of sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, gastric bypass with Roux loop confirmed by CT, and who underwent a gastrointestinal transit before the CT examination.
resultsGI exam allowed visualisation of 58% of complications. Analysing the data for each surgical technique, 46 post-operative complications were found involve gastric banding. The most frequent was bandage migration (26 cases, 56 %), identified in all cases at GI transit and then confirmed on CT.
conclusionsThe study suggests that CT should be used to clarify all doubtful or clinically discordant GI transit exam results. The participation of a radiologist in qualification and post-operative evaluation is important for bariatric surgery patients.
