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

Lack of standardization in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RY-GBP) is quite well established. We all learned the basics of the technique, but a lot of differences do exist in performing each step of the procedure. Based on scientific evidences, coming from an extensive and meticulous review of the literature of the last 20 years, we thus address the different technical steps of the procedure and their importance to try and propose a standardization of RYGBP. A lot of possibilities exist at each and every step of a RYGBP. They influence the postoperative complications, the end weight loss (EWL), weight regain, and resolution of obesity bounded comorbidities. Furthermore, lack of standardization leads to problems regarding comparison of scientific data in the related literature.
