Trends in bariatric surgery revisions: a 25-year single-institution experience.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRevisional bariatric surgery (RBS) is now the third most performed metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in the USA. This study aims to describe trends in MBS revisions at a single large academic institution over 25 years.
methodsWe identified patients who underwent an MBS revision between 2000 and 2024 at a single large quaternary referral center from a prospectively maintained database. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records to collect pertinent data related to MBS history and conducted a descriptive review of the data to evaluate trends.
resultsA total of 667 patients underwent a first-time bariatric surgery revision; 364 (54.5%) performed surgically and 303 (45.5%) endoscopically. There was a noticeable trend toward endoscopic revisions indicated for weight-related indications, particularly over the past decade. For surgical revisions, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was the most revised primary MBS operation overall, surpassed by sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in recent years. A greater diversity of indications was observed for surgical compared with endoscopic revisions. Additionally, 14.9% of patients required more than one bariatric revision procedure.
conclusionBariatric surgery revisions are increasingly common, highlighting the chronicity of obesity and the need for long-term management. We identified general trends over time toward therapeutic interventions increasingly utilizing minimally invasive surgery and transoral endoscopic techniques. Transoral endoscopic revisions were primarily used for weight-related indications after RYGB, with many other indications managed exclusively through surgery.
