An insidious internal hernia 30 years after jejunoileal bypass: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) was an early bariatric procedure that involved bypassing most of the small bowel resulting in malabsorption and weight loss. Due to serious complications associated with the procedure, JIB was largely discontinued by the mid-1980s. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with a history of JIB 31 years earlier. In 2022, she was hospitalized for acute abdominal pain. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a suspicion of internal hernia (IH) with a typical swirl sign. Due to the quick relief of symptoms an emergency surgery was not considered at the time. Nevertheless, a subsequent operation revealed a large mesenteric defect, adhesions and 100 cm of effective small bowel left. Although the procedure is no longer performed, some patients with JIB are still alive and develop late complications. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing an IH in a patient who has undergone JIB.
