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

backgroundThis study reports mid-term results on weight loss and T2D remission in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with short versus long biliopancreatic limb (BPL).

methodsAll patients with obesity undergoing RYGB procedures with long BPL (150 cm) versus short BPL (60 cm) between 2016 and 2021 at a tertiary reference center for bariatric surgery were compared using propensity score matching to assess for T2D remission, HbA1c evolution, weight loss and nutritional deficiencies.

resultsA total of 165 patients were included, 69 patients (71% female, mean age 43.9 ± 14 years, mean baseline BMI 42.4 ± 4.3 kg/m

conclusionImplementation of a long-BPL RYGB is safe and shows an accelerated weight loss and improved HbA1c reduction with low overall morbidity after 2 years.
