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

backgroundBariatric surgery has emerged to be the most effective treatment strategy for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) achieving high remission rates. Many factors have been evaluated with a potential to predict the improvement of glycemic control following bariatric procedures. This study aims to study the various predictive factors for T2DM and the ABCD score in obese diabetic patients undergoing bariatric surgery in a South Indian population.

methodsA total of 53 obese patients (BMI > 30 k/m

resultsOut of the 53 patients, 35 (66%) underwent LSG and 18 (34%) underwent LGB. Patients (81.1%) had T2DM remission. Mean HbA1c values decreased from 8.07 ± 1.98 to 6.0 ± 0.71. Only higher pre-operative body weight (p = 0.04) and lower HbA1c level (p = 0.04) were significantly associated with T2DM remission. Higher absolute weight loss (p = 0.03) after surgery was also significantly associated with T2DM remission. ABCD score was not significantly associated with T2DM remission although patients with ABCD score higher than 7 demonstrated 100% remission rate.

conclusionAmong all the factors, only higher pre-operative weight and better glycaemic control along with better post-operative weight loss were significantly associated with the remission of T2DM. Although not significantly associated with remission of T2DM, higher ABCD scores had higher likelihood of remission.
