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

Introduction: Among liver transplant recipients, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may lead to postoperative malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies. Procedures such as the endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) can result in advantageous weight gain for liver transplant recipients with prior RYGB who do not respond to enteral or parenteral nutritional interventions. Methods: We present three patients who underwent EDGE for post-transplant malnutrition and weight loss. Results: EDGE resulted in weight gain across all patients. Liver transplant recipients with a history of RYGB may be at significant nutritional risk following transplant due to fat malabsorption, underestimation of resting energy expenditure, and appetite suppression mediated by neurohormonal signals. Conclusion: When traditional nutritional interventions are unsuccessful, the EDGE procedure may be an effective alternative to promote post-transplant weight gain in this unique population.
