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

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a common bariatric operation proven to result in significant weight loss. One recognized serious complication is that of an internal hernia (IH), in which the small bowel protrudes through one of two mesenteric defects created by the Roux-en-Y anatomy. In this case report, we present a successful laparoscopic repair of a symptomatic IH in a patient in the third trimester of pregnancy. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing vague abdominal pain and emesis during pregnancy, and technical considerations for safe laparoscopic access and monitoring throughout minimally invasive surgery in late gestation.
