Complications of Post-Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Case of Excluded Stomach Perforation.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a common surgical treatment for morbid obesity, but rare complications involving the excluded gastric remnant can pose significant challenges. A 65-year-old female with a history of RYGB presented with sudden onset of left upper quadrant abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and loss of appetite. Laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis. An initial CT scan showed significant distention of the excluded stomach, suggesting possible obstruction. While preparing for percutaneous decompression, her abdominal pain worsened acutely. A repeat CT scan demonstrated decompression of the excluded stomach and new free fluid in the abdomen, indicating a perforation. Emergent exploratory laparotomy uncovered a large necrotic perforation in the excluded gastric remnant and extensive adhesions from prior surgeries. A partial gastrectomy and antrectomy were performed to remove the perforated tissue. Pathological examination revealed ulcerated gastric mucosa with acute and chronic inflammation, reactive gastropathy, and no evidence of
