First study on the outcomes of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch in Chinese patients with obesity.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) is a bariatric procedure used in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders. However, to date, the data on BPD-DS among Chinese patients with obesity is completely lacking. Objective: This is the first study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BPD-DS in the treatment of Chinese patients with obesity. Methods: Data from 12 patients undergoing BPD-DS between September 2019 and March 2020 were analyzed retrospectively to evaluate complications, weight loss, comorbidity resolution, and nutritional status. Results: All patients completed the 1-year follow-up. There was no conversion to laparotomy or death. Mean operative time was 257.08 ± 29.27 min. The median length of stay was 7 days (ranging from 4-38 days). Complications occurred in three patients. The 1-year body mass index was 25.13 ± 4.71 kg/m Conclusion: BPD-DS had excellent weight loss and resolution of comorbidities among Chinese patients with obesity. However, high rates of nutritional deficiencies and complications were found after BPD-DS, especially for vitamin A and vitamin E.
