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
purposeSingle Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) bypass effectively alleviates GERD symptoms but may increase bile reflux risk. This study evaluates the effects of SASI bypass impact on endoscopic GERD features and GERD-related quality of life.
methodsThis single-center study is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients who underwent SASI bypass between March 2020 and August 2022.
resultsEsophagitis prevalence significantly decreased from 51.4% preoperatively to 20.0% after SASI bypass, p = 0.010. Notably, esophagitis grade B, present in 17.1% of patients before surgery, was utterly absent postoperatively, p = 0.041. Bile reflux significantly increased from 11.4% preoperatively to 62.9% postoperatively, p < 0.001, with de novo bile reflux occurring in 20 cases. Proton pump inhibitor use increased from 31.4% before surgery to 45.7% after, p = 0.302. An analysis of factors affecting the postoperative quality of life, assessed by the GERD-HRQL General Scale, identified preoperative PPI use as a significant predictor, with users being significantly less likely to achieve a higher postoperative quality of life (OR = 0.07, 95% CI [0.01–0.44]), p = 0.009. Preoperative bile reflux was associated with a 95% lower likelihood of improved postoperative quality of life (OR = 0.05, 95% CI [0.00–0.67]), p = 0.038.
conclusionSASI bypass may be considered a suitable option for selected patients with mild GERD. Although endoscopic bile reflux increased postoperatively, most patients reported minimal reflux symptoms. Preoperative PPI use and bile reflux were associated with reduced postoperative quality of life, emphasizing the importance of appropriate patient selection and close follow-up.
