Improved Clinical and Financial Outcomes in Proximal Gastric Bypass Surgery Following the Transition from a Conventional Circular Stapling to an Augmented Linear Stapling Protocol.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Bariatric techniques for bypass surgery evolve constantly. Switching from one well-established protocol to another in a running surgical teaching program is challenging. We analyzed clinical and financial outcomes at a single bariatric center transitioning from circular to an augmented linear bypass protocol. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween 2011 and 2018, 454 patients were included in this retrospective study. The circular bypass protocol (CIRC; n = 177) was used between 2011 and 2012. Between 2013 and 2015 the transition occurred. Thereafter, the augmented linear protocol (aLIN; n = 277) was primarily utilized.
resultsOverall, the mean preoperative BMI dropped from 42.2 to 29.6 kg/m
conclusionThis study shows improved clinical and financial outcomes after a gradual transition from a circular stapling protocol to an augmented linear stapling protocol in proximal gastric bypass surgery.
