Pros and cons of partial reversal with gastro-gastrostomy in patients with refractory hypoalbuminemia following one-anastomosis gastric bypass.

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
purposeHypoalbuminemia following One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) surgery remains a major concern among bariatric surgeons. This study aims to assess the outcome of partial reversal to normal anatomy with gastro-gastrostomy alone in patients with refractory hypoalbuminemia following OAGB surgery.
methodsA retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent partial reversal surgery with gastro-gastrostomy alone due to refractory hypoalbuminemia post-OAGB surgery, using data from the Iran National Obesity Surgery Database, from 2013 to 2022.
resultsOf 4640 individuals undergoing OAGB, 11 underwent gastro-gastrostomy due to refractory hypoalbuminemia. The median time from OAGB to partial reversal was 16.6 months and the BPL length ranged from 155 to 200 cm. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 7 years. The mean BMI was 27.3 (7.5) kg/m² before partial reversal. The mean BMI post-reversal was 30.9 (4.2) kg/m² after 1 year and 33.3 (3.8) kg/m² after 2 years. Serum albumin levels significantly increased from 3.0 (0.4) g/dL to 4.0 (0.5) g/dL following gastro-gastrostomy (p-value < 0.001). Serum liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, ALP) significantly decreased post-gastro-gastrostomy (p-value < 0.05). Nine individuals (81.8%) achieved resolution of hypoalbuminemia after gastro-gastrostomy with maintenance of ≥ 20% TWL and ≥ 50% EWL. No cases of anastomotic stricture, leak, bleeding, or major complications were reported after gastro-gastrostomy.
conclusionGastro-gastrostomy appears to be a safe and efficacious technique for addressing refractory hypoalbuminemia following OAGB. The procedure preserves the weight loss achieved following OAGB without significant complications. However, further studies are required to validate these findings.
