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

Objective: To evaluate (1) the efficacy of transit bipartition (TB) as revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG); (2) the impact of the length of the common channel (CC) on weight loss. Background: LSG in combination with TB has been shown to be highly efficacious for treating morbid obesity. The role of TB as RBS to address the problem of primary failure or weight recidivism after LSG is less well defined. Methods: Observational study of outcomes in 100 morbidly obese patients who received a TB following LSG. Follow-up examinations (FE) were performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Variables analyzed included BMI, percent excess weight loss (%EWL), total body weight loss (%TBWL), effect on obesity-related conditions and complications. Results: The mean BMI before LSG was 49.9 ± 8.5 kg/m Conclusion: TB is an effective second-step procedure to address insufficient weight loss or weight recidivism after LSG. CC length of 250 versus 300 cm had a significant impact. While most improvements of obesity-related comorbidities are likely linked to weight loss, amelioration of GERD is largely mediated by accelerated gastric emptying. Major complications were observed in 3% of patients and managed without fatalities.
