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

purposeSleeve gastrectomy (SG) results in significant anatomical and physiological alterations of the esophagus and stomach, including food tolerance. Currently, there is no consensus on the parameters of abnormal esophageal transit and gastric emptying in this population. We describe standardized esophageal transit and gastric emptying protocols, and define expected values following an uncomplicated SG. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn 43 asymptomatic post-SG patients with optimal weight loss, a standardized liquid and semi-solid (oatmeal) esophageal transit study, plus a 90-min semi-solid gastric emptying study with dynamic 5-s image acquisition to assess gastroesophageal reflux, was performed. Gastric emptying half-time and retention rate was calculated. Esophageal transit and reflux were graded by visual inspection of images.

resultsThirty-one female and 12 male patients participated: mean age 49.0±10.7 years, pre-operative BMI 47.6±7.0 kg/m

conclusionsRapid gastric emptying with asymptomatic deglutitive and post-prandial gastroesophageal reflux events are common following SG. We have defined the expected values of standardized esophageal transit and gastric emptying scintigraphy specifically tailored to SG patients.
