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

backgroundWeight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a nightmare for the patients and the surgeons and is mostly regarded as "irreversible." However, conversions to duodenal switch (DS) have been done previously with promising success. The current paper reports a single center's mid-to-long-term follow-up outcomes.

methodsThe data from all patients undergoing a conversion of RYGB (and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB)) to DS were reviewed retrospectively. The demographic, operative, and weight loss parameters were analyzed, including age, duration of surgery, weight loss, body mass index (BMI), and morbidity/mortality.

resultsSeventeen patients were operated on between January 2013 and December 2021. The mean BMI was 45 kg/m

conclusionLaparoscopic conversion of gastric bypass operations to DS is a complicated procedure that may have severe complications despite excessive patience and expertise but can be performed in a single step. The mid-to-long-term outcomes are promising for weight loss and control of associated co-morbidities.
