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

backgroundRecurrent weight gain (RWG) and Suboptimal Clinical Response (SCR) after primary metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) are common, often necessitating revisional procedures. Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) has emerged as a promising conversion option.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent laparoscopic conversion to SADI-S for RWG/SCR between 2018 and 2024. Eligible patients had prior MBS after meeting national guidelines. Data included demographics, weight-loss outcomes, complications and nutritional/metabolic markers. The primary outcomes were percent of total weight loss (%TWL) and excess weight loss (%EWL). Long-term complications and need for revisional surgery were also assessed.

resultsSixty-nine patients (mean age 42.7 ± 9.8 years; 66.7% female) were included. Most (65.2%) were converted from sleeve gastrectomy. Mean follow-up was 2.2 ± 1.4 years. Mean %TWL was 36.4%, 37.8%, and 34.5% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively, and %EWL exceeded 90% at all time points. Major complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3b) occurred in 5.8% within 90 days, with 4 reoperations in the perioperative period. No conversional surgeries were required during the follow-up period.

conclusionsConversion to SADI-S is a safe and effective option for RWG/SCR following primary MBS, yielding durable weight loss and metabolic improvement with low complication rates. These findings support its use as a conversion strategy, warranting further prospective validation.
