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

Internal hernia is the most common complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Although its incidence rate is low, hernias are becoming more common in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, with Petersen's hernia being one of the most frequent. The symptoms of internal hernia are variable, and the sensitivity of imaging methods is limited, resulting in a high rate of misdiagnosis of internal hernia by computed tomography. Surgery continues to be the first treatment option in patients presenting with clinical symptoms of obstruction after undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Here, we present a case of intestinal obstruction secondary to Petersen's hernia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the context of bariatric surgery.
