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 (MU) is a serious complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures. This study reports the incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of symptomatic and incidentally, at routine endoscopy diagnosed, MU.

methodsAll patients undergoing RYGB procedures between 2013 and 2018 at a single center were included. Upper endoscopy was performed in case of symptoms and/or routinely 2 and 5 years postoperatively.

resultsIn total, 568 patients (83.3% female) underwent RYGB procedure with a median age of 40 years and median initial body mass index of 41 kg/m

conclusionMU is a common complication after gastric bypass surgery with 25% of patients being asymptomatic. Follow-up routine endoscopy is recommended for early MU detection and subsequent accurate therapy, especially in patients with the independent risk factors smoking and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
