COMPLICATIONS AND LATE FOLLOW-UP OF SCOPINARO'S SURGERY WITH GASTRIC PRESERVATION: 1570 PATIENTS OPERATED IN 20 YEARS.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cirurgia digestiva : ABCD = Brazilian archives of digestive 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
aimsScopinaro-type biliopancreatic diversion (BPD-S) and its variations are the surgeries that offer the best immediate results in weight loss and regain in the late follow-up. It has a high rate of immediate complications and demands control with frequent laboratory tests. The aim of this study was to analyze the late postoperative complications of 1570 patients operated by biliopancreatic diversion with gastric preservation laparoscopic video with up to 20 years of postoperative follow-up.
methodsIn a follow-up period of up to 20 years, the clinical and surgical complications of 1570 patients with grade II or III obesity were evaluated who were operated on from 2001 to 2014 with the same team of surgeons. Clavien Dindo 11 classification was used for analysis and comparison. Laboratory tests and body mass index (BMI) were used in the analysis of late metabolic outcomes.
resultsOn the one hand, complications in 204 patients were recorded (13%), and 143 patients (9.1%) were reoperated. On the other hand, 61 patients (29.9%), who had postoperative complications were clinically treated with good evolution in 9.2 years (95%CI 8.2-10.3), with a median of 9.5 years (95%CI 6.1-12.9). Gastroileal anastomosis ulcers occurred in 44 patients (2.8%). Patients with malnutrition, severe anemia, or chronic diarrhea were operated on with common loop elongation (n=64 - 4%), conversion to gastric diversion (n=29 - 5%), or reversal of surgery (n=10 - 0.6%). One death was registered throughout casuistry (0.06%).
conclusionsMetabolic result of DBP-S was considered excellent in most patients, even referring to changes in the frequency of bowel movements, loose stools, and unpleasant odor. Complications are usually serious and most of the patients require surgical treatment. Therefore, the biliopancreatic diversion of Scopinaro should be reserved for exceptional cases, as there are safer surgical alternatives with less serious side effects.
