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

backgroundSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is widely performed, yet 20-50% of patients experience insufficient weight loss or weight regain, leading to revisional surgery. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S) are two commonly used revisional procedures, but long-term comparative data remain limited. This study evaluates 7-year outcomes of RYGB versus SADI-S as revisional surgeries for weight recurrence after SG.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on all adults undergoing revisional RYGB or SADI-S between 2014 and 2015 after inadequate weight loss or weight recurrence post-SG. Demographic, anthropometric, biochemical, and comorbidity-related variables were assessed at baseline, 1, 5, and 7 years. Statistical analyses included t-tests, chi-square tests, Kaplan-Meier curves, and multivariate regression (significance set at p < 0.05).

resultsThe cohort included 105 patients (RYGB = 62; SADI-S = 43). SADI-S patients had higher baseline and pre-revision BMI. Across all follow-up points, SADI-S achieved significantly greater %TWL, %EWL, and BMI reduction, demonstrating superior long-term weight-loss durability. RYGB yielded markedly better GERD resolution (95 vs. 5%, p = 0.02), while remission of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and asthma was similar between groups. Nutritional profiles differed: SADI-S was associated with lower calcium, zinc, folate, and vitamin D levels, whereas RYGB patients had lower vitamin B12. Overall complication rates, including bleeding, marginal ulcer, internal hernia, dumping syndrome, severe malnutrition, and iron-deficiency anemia, were not statistically significant.

conclusionsBoth RYGB and SADI-S are effective and safe revisional options after SG. SADI-S offers superior long-term weight-loss and metabolic outcomes, whereas RYGB remains preferable for patients with significant or persistent GERD. Tailoring revisional procedure selection to patient characteristics and ensuring lifelong nutritional monitoring are essential for optimizing long-term outcomes.
