Early small bowel obstruction by phytobezoar related to zopiclone induced amnesia after revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a case report.

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
This case report details an unusual instance of small bowel obstruction occurring within 48 h after a successful Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure. A 59-year-old woman, who had undergone a revisional RYGB and was discharged 24 h post-surgery, returned to the emergency department with acute epigastric pain and vomiting at the 48-h mark. A contrast computed tomography scan revealed dilated small bowel loops, right pleural effusion, and some free gas. An emergency laparoscopy identified an obstruction at the jejunojejunal anastomosis caused by undigested food, including seeds. The obstructive material was removed, and the anastomosis was reconstructed. Subsequent psychiatric evaluation revealed the patient's abuse of zopiclone, taken at four times the recommended dose. This misuse likely led to anterograde amnesia, resulting in unreported dietary indiscretions. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive medication history and patient education to mitigate risks associated with medication misuse and non-compliance.
