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

backgroundSilastic ring vertical gastroplasty (SRVG) and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) are associated with a high failure rate due to weight regain and complications at long-term follow-up. Consequently, surgical correction for such procedures is warranted. Controversy exists as to which surgical procedure is the ideal choice for such correction. Our aim is to compare short-term outcome of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) repair for failed VBG/SRVG bariatric procedures.

methodsThe medical records of patients with failed SRVG who underwent corrective procedures at our institute between 2004 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients characteristics, surgical approaches, and intraoperative and post-operative complications were examined and compared.

resultsSixty patients in total underwent a surgical corrective procedure for failed SRVG. Thirty-one patients underwent RYGB, and 29 patients underwent BPD. Major complications were seen more in the RYGB group (35% = 11) compared to the BPD (6.9% = 2). Even though anastomotic leak rates were not statistically significant (p = 0.053), an apparent tendency for such a complication was noted in the RYGB group. RYGB procedure had an increased 30-day complication rate (p = 0.055) compared to RYGB. Laparoscopic approach had statistically fewer complications than open approach. No mortality was observed in either group.

conclusionOur study showed that BPD is a safe option with less complication rates than RYGB in the short-term period for surgical correction of failed VBG/SRVG procedures.
