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

Internal hernias are a well-recognized but potentially life-threatening complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms and limitations of imaging, and surgical repair is frequently required. We present the case of a 47-year-old male with a history of RYGB who developed an atypical type of recurrent internal hernia, ultimately managed with elective exploratory laparotomy, reduction of hernia, closure of mesenteric defect and mesh repair of a concurrent incisional hernia. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges, surgical considerations, and importance of elective intervention in patients with a history of previous internal hernia repair post-bariatric surgery and presenting with recurrent subacute obstruction.
