Functional Reversal as a Feasible Option for Malnutrition in Patients With Hyper-Response Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Obesity is recognized as a global epidemic, and bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity and its associated comorbidities, providing durable long-term outcomes. However, a subset of patients develops malnutrition as a complication despite adequate nutritional supplementation, for whom revisional surgery may be indicated, although such procedures can be technically and clinically challenging. We discuss the case of a 55-year-old female with a significant surgical history, including three cesarean sections and a fundoplication performed 17 years earlier, who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) at a private hospital. At the time of bariatric surgery, her weight was 107 kg, with a BMI of 41.7 kg/m² and a height of 1.60 m. One year and nine months postoperatively, she presented to our center for the first time, reporting generalized weakness, asthenia, and reduced physical activity, despite adherence to prescribed nutritional supplementation and dietary recommendations. After a complete assessment and laboratory tests identifying normocytic normochromic anemia and severe malnutrition (albumin 2.5) and one month of mixed nutrition, we performed revisional surgery with functional reversal of RYGB with later resolution of her nutritional deficiencies. The RYGB reversal using Gastro-gastric anastomosis (functional reversal) appears to be a feasible, less complex option with a potentially lower complication risk than full anatomical reversal in malnourished RYGB patients.
