A 3-year follow-up study of uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction: clinical results and outcomes.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe goal of this study was to identify the clinical outcomes of uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction in patients who underwent totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) over 3-year follow-up.
methodsFrom January 2016 to December 2017, 269 patients who underwent TLDG were enrolled in the study and analyzed retrospectively. They were classified into two groups according to the reconstruction method: uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction (uncut RY) (n = 154) and Billroth II with Braun anastomosis (B-II/Braun) (n = 115). Postoperative endoscopic findings (residual food, bile reflux, gastritis, and esophagitis) and nutritional status (body weight, serum hemoglobin, total protein, and albumin levels) were assessed every 6 months for 3 years.
resultsResidual food was less frequent in the uncut RY group in the 6th month after TLDG (p = 0.022), but there were no differences between the two groups for the rest of the study period. The incidence of bile reflux and gastritis was low in the uncut RY group during all postoperative periods (all p < 0.001). In the B-II/Braun group, the frequency of reflux esophagitis was high in the 30th and 36th months after TLDG (both p < 0.001), and there were no differences between the two groups during the preceding periods. No significant differences were found with respect to nutritional status, such as body weight, serum hemoglobin, total protein, and albumin levels during all postoperative periods.
conclusionsThree-year follow-up outcomes showed that uncut RY can effectively reduce the incidence of bile reflux and gastritis in the remnant stomach compared to B-II/Braun after TLDG.
