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

As techniques have been refined, more patients in the United States have undergone bariatric surgery for weight loss. These surgeries alter the gastrointestinal tract to restrict caloric intake. While most surgeons prefer sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, some older procedures, like vertical band gastroplasty, have fallen out of favor due to late complications. In any bariatric procedure, endoscopy can be challenging if indicated due to altered anatomy. Here, we present a case of challenging anatomy due to remote vertical band gastroplasty in a patient presenting with cholangitis, highlighting the effective use of a lumen-apposing metal stent across a vertical band stenosis.
