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

backgroundObesity is associated with increased mortality due to higher cardiovascular risk. A proportion of this risk is attributed to impaired lipid profile in the form of high levels of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low levels of HDL cholesterol. Both sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and gastric bypass (LGB) have been shown to have favourable effects on lipid profile with some variability in improvement. We aimed to study the difference in changes in lipid profile after LSG and LGB.

methodsWe performed a retrospective case-matched study comparing effects of LSG and LGB on lipid profile of patients who underwent bariatric surgery from September 2014 to September 2015. The matching was done based on criteria of age and body mass index (BMI).

resultsOut of a total of 92 selected patients, 69 patients underwent LSG and 23 patients underwent LGB. There was a significant improvement in serum triglycerides and HDL cholesterol with no significant reduction in serum total cholesterol in both LSG and LGB group. There was a significant reduction in cardiovascular risk calculated as total cholesterol: HDL cholesterol ratio following bariatric surgery (p = 0.002).

conclusionBoth LSG and LGB have similar effects on lipid profile cardiovascular risk attributed to it in Indian obese. Thus, sleeve gastrectomy may be considered as effective as a gastric bypass for dyslipidaemia improvement in Indian patients.
