Surgical Management of Candy Cane Syndrome After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Case Report Highlighting Diagnostic and Therapeutic Considerations.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Candy cane syndrome (CCS) is a rare complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, caused by a redundant blind afferent limb at the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis. It typically presents with persistent postprandial abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, significantly impacting quality of life. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who developed chronic upper abdominal discomfort two years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Symptoms persisted despite conservative management, and CCS was ultimately identified as the underlying cause. Surgical resection of the redundant limb was performed, resulting in marked symptomatic relief. This case highlights the critical role of clinical suspicion and timely surgical intervention in the recognition and management of CCS while underscoring its significant impact on function and quality of life in post-bariatric surgery patients.
