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

Dumping syndrome is a common complication after esophageal, gastric and bariatric surgery and has a significant negative impact on the quality of life of patients. This narrative review describes the clinical syndrome, pathophysiology, diagnosis and reports on standard and pragmatic therapeutical treatment options in order to improve the clinical outcome of patients with dumping syndrome. Dumping syndrome consists of early and late dumping symptoms and can be diagnosed using clinical parameters with the help of the Sigstad's score, questionnaires or by provocative testing. The prevalence of dumping syndrome varies depending on the employed definition of dumping syndrome. Overall, dumping syndrome is more frequent nowadays due to increasing numbers of upper gastrointestinal and bariatric surgeries being performed. First treatment step includes dietary adjustment and dietary supplements, which are often sufficient to manage symptoms for the majority of patients. Next step of therapy includes acarbose, which is effective for late dumping symptoms, but the use is limited due to side effects. Somatostatin analogues are indicated after these two steps have failed. Somatostatin analogues are very effective for controlling early and late dumping, also in the long term. Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists, endoscopic and surgical (re)interventions are reported as treatment options for refractory dumping syndrome; however, their use is not recommended in clinical practice due to the limited evidence on and uncertainty of outcomes. These alternatives should be considered only as last resort options in patients with otherwise refractory and invalidating dumping syndrome.
