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

In addition to preoperative diagnostic gastroscopy, some bariatric surgery patients require one or more differentiated endoscopic interventions as part of postoperative complication management. The aim of this study is to analyze endoscopic interventions regarding indication, type of procedure, material used, and outcome. We prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed data over a period of 15 years from 2006 to 2021 of all consecutive patients who underwent an interventional upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after bariatric surgery at our center. The primary study objective was the type and frequency of the treatment. Secondary study objectives included clinical outcomes and postinterventional complications. Of 3000 bariatric procedures, 145 (4.8%), among them 11.1% (n = 54) of 485 Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses, 7.1% (n = 20) of 282 redo operations, 5.7% (n = 20) of 351 revisional operations, 3.3% (n = 13) of 398 sleeve gastrectomies, and 1.9% (n = 26) of 1394 one-anastomosis gastric bypasses, received an interventional endoscopy for postoperative complication management. 79.3% (n = 115) were female, mean age was 42.4 (± 10.7) years, mean BMI was 43.5 (± 9.8) kg/m
