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

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is widely used to treat morbid obesity, but it may lead to rare complications involving the excluded stomach. Ulcers in this defunctionalized segment are particularly uncommon yet clinically significant due to their potential to perforate and present atypically. Gastric perforation following RYGB is a rare but potentially fatal complication. This case report describes a 41-year-old patient who presented with gastric perforation without the typical diagnostic marker of pneumoperitoneum. Through comprehensive clinical evaluation, laboratory testing, and imaging, this report highlights the importance of thorough diagnostic approaches in post-bariatric surgery patients, emphasizing the necessity of a low threshold for surgical intervention.
