Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency following bariatric surgery: unveiling alternative aetiology-case report and short review.
Review in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bariatric surgery (BS) is currently the most effective treatment for severe obesity, requiring ongoing multidisciplinary follow-up to ensure proper progress and nutrition post-procedure. Despite its favourable safety profile, it is not exempt from complications, one of which being exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of EPI after BS are multifactorial, including poorly synchronized pancreatic enzyme secretion with the passage of nutrients (pancreaticocibal or postcibal asynchrony), insufficient pancreatic stimulation and bacterial overgrowth. We conducted a short literature review of the topic through a case of a patient who underwent BS in our centre and subsequently developed EPI and severe malnutrition. EPI initially was attributed to the surgery, but after a comprehensive evaluation, an unexpected cause was revealed.
