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

We conducted a systematic review to examine perioperative outcomes for adults undergoing minimally invasive Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with and without concurrent cholecystectomy (CCE). We reviewed the literature using OVID MEDLINE(R), Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and medRxiv and identified studies published between 1946 and May 2023. We identified a total of 2402 studies with 11 included in the final analysis (combined 149,356 patients). Studies suggested increased operative time associated with RYGB-CCE, with mixed results regarding length of stay and rates of bile duct injury. Presently available data is not robust enough to conclude whether minimally invasive RYGB with CCE harms or benefits patients compared to RYGB alone.
