A 53-Year-Old Man Presenting with Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency 7 Years After Gastric Bypass Bariatric Surgery.

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
BACKGROUND Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is a clinical condition characterized by reduced or inappropriate pancreatic enzymes and secretions. It can have a variable clinical presentation and can affect patient quality of life. PEI can be associated with pancreatic and nonpancreatic disorders. Pancreatic insufficiency is a recognized complication of bariatric surgery, but there is limited awareness. This report is of a 53-year-old man who presented with PEI 7 years after his initial bariatric surgery. Revision surgery resulted in the resolution of chronic diarrhea and progressive weight loss. CASE REPORT A 53-year-old man who had gastric bypass surgery had developed pancreatic insufficiency 7 years after the surgery. This diagnosis was a challenge to make and therefore treat. A multi-modal approach and revision surgery helped resolve his symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic insufficiency is a challenging complication to treat after bariatric surgery. Its management includes a multi-disciplinary approach, and such cases should be managed in dedicated bariatric units. This report has highlighted the importance of excluding PEI as a complication of bariatric surgery and its management.
