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

introductionLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most common metabolic bariatric surgery performed in Japan. Nevertheless, concerns persist regarding its long-term efficacy, which is considered inferior to that of procedures involving gastrointestinal bypass. In response to these concerns, a modified approach known as the "sleeve plus procedure" has been introduced and is now covered by insurance for patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We successfully performed proximal jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (PJB-SG), a variant of this approach, marking the first documented case of its kind in Japan. This report presents the clinical outcomes of this procedure along with a review of the relevant literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old female patient with a body mass index of 46.9 kg/m

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PJB-SG conducted in Japan. This procedure may represent a promising alternative for patients with severe obesity and T2DM in Japan.
