Outcomes of Conversion from Sleeve Gastrectomy to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Due to GERD-a Retrospective Analysis of 35 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 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundSleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become one of the most performed bariatric procedures worldwide. Its main weaknesses are weight regain and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is considered the gold standard to manage GERD and related symptoms.
methodsRetrospective evaluation from a prospective bariatric surgery database of all our institution's patients converted from SG to RYGB due to GERD between January 2010 and December 2018. Clinical characteristics and workups before SG and before and after RYGB were analyzed.
resultsDuring the study period, 35 patients needed a conversion to RYGB, due to GERD or GERD-related symptoms. Mean age was 48.6 years, 85.7% were women, and mean BMI was 31.4 kg/m
conclusionsConversion to RYGB was effective in almost all patients. Pathological acid exposure and hiatal hernias seem to be the main findings prior to conversion, justifying an exhaustive examination and aggressive approach to the hiatus. Due to the insufficient correlation between symptoms and findings on morphological and functional tests, actively searching for signs of GERD is advisable.
