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

backgroundLess invasive and safer anastomotic techniques are desirable. We aimed to determine technical feasibility and safety of sutureless duodeno-ileal side-to-side anastomosis in obese patients using self-assembling magnets.

methodsThis was an open-label, prospective, and single-arm study including obese patients (BMI 30-50 kg/m

resultsA total of 8 patients were enrolled in the study; median age was 51.5 years (range: 34-65), and median BMI was 38.8 kg/m

conclusionsSutureless duodeno-ileal side-to-side anastomosis using self-assembling magnets is feasible and safe in obese patients, and a dual-path enteral diversion with large-caliber and durable anastomosis can be achieved.
