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 an important risk factor for several chronic diseases and also is associated with worse quality of life. Intragastric balloon (IGB) is an effective method for weight loss. Although changes in lifestyle are critical to weight loss during and after IGB therapy, only a few studies evaluated dietary intake and none evaluated changes in physical activity with a validated questionnaire during the treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in total and central body adiposity, dietary intake, physical activity, and quality of life of patients with obesity submitted to IGB treatment for 6 months.

methodsProspective observational study involving 42 patients with obesity using IGB for 6 months. The patients were evaluated, on the day of insertion and withdrawal or adjustment of IGB for total and central body adiposity (anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance), dietary intake, physical activity (Baecke questionnaire), and quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire).

resultsThere was a significant decrease in total and central body adiposity. The mean % total weight loss and % excess weight loss were 15.88 ± 1.42 and 56.04 ± 4.90, respectively and waist circumference decreased 13.33 ± 1.39 cm. There was a reduction in energy intake, an increase in physical activity, and an improvement of quality of life during IGB treatment.

conclusionThe present study suggests that IGB treatment during 6 months in individuals with obesity is effective for decreasing total and central body adiposity being associated with reduction in energy intake, increase in physical activity, and improvement in quality of life.
