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

backgroundBoth weight regain and dumping syndrome (DS) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) have been related to the dilation of gastro-jejunal anastomosis. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and long-term efficacy of endoscopic transoral outlet reduction (TORe) for DS and/or weight regain after RYBG. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on a prospective database. Sigstad's score, early and late Arts Dumping Score (ADS) questionnaires, absolute weight loss (AWL), percentage of total body weight loss (%TBWL), and percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) were assessed at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months after TORe.

resultsEighty-seven patients (median age 46 years, 79% female) underwent TORe. The median baseline BMI was 36.2 kg/m

conclusionTORe is a minimally invasive treatment for DS and/or weight regain after RYGB, with evidence of long-term efficacy.
