Marginal ulcers and associated risk factors after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

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
As the prevalence of morbid obesity continues to climb in America, so does the popularity of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) to achieve weight loss goals; however, a long-term risk of RYGB is marginal ulceration, which requires urgent surgery if perforated. We sought to identify characteristics associated with elective vs urgent presentation for marginal ulcer following RYGB. Retrospective data for consecutive cases with marginal ulcers that required surgical intervention from May 2016 to February 2021 were queried from our institution's bariatric database, and differences in patient characteristics and clinical course were assessed according to presentation. Forty-three patients underwent surgery for marginal ulcer during the study timeframe. Twenty-four (56%) patients presented electively and were treated with resection of the gastroenterostomy and reanastomosis; the remaining 19 (44%) presented urgently with perforation and were treated with omental patch repair. Demographics, comorbidities, and medications were similar between groups. Patients with urgent presentations were less likely to have bleeds (0% vs. 33%,
