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

introductionEnhanced recovery after bariatric surgery (ERABS) and other fast track protocols are currently being implemented in bariatric surgery. This approach has several benefits. However, early complications may occur and require urgent re-hospitalization and management. Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding following bariatric surgery remains one of the most serious complications requiring endoscopic treatment.

aimTo evaluate the potential influence of early endoscopic intervention on bariatric patients' management. MATERIAL AND

methodsA clinical database was searched for patients undergoing endoscopic treatment because of GI tract bleeding following bariatric surgery under the ERABS protocol. 14 out of 1431 patients operated on were identified and their data were extracted for the purposes of this study. Patients readmitted to the hospital due to developing GI tract bleeding (group 2) were compared with patients undergoing endoscopic intervention during the initial stay (group 1), for the same purpose.

resultsWe found no statistically significant differences in hemoglobin level or length of hospital stay before endoscopy between groups. Based on the analyzed data, the percentage of GI bleeding in patients operated on under the ERABS protocol in our center is 0.97% (n = 14). The rate of early (up to 30 days) readmissions due to GI tract bleeding is 0.4% (n = 5) with an overall early readmission rate of 0.91% (n = 13) in the study period since the ERABS protocol was implemented.

conclusionsLong-term effects (% total weight loss, %TWL) of bariatric surgery do not depend on the need of early endoscopic intervention and rehospitalization. Endoscopic intervention is a safe treatment modality, not associated with risk of reoperation or complications.
