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

backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a widely performed procedure nowadays. There is a controversy on whether antrum resection (AR) or antrum preservation (AP) should be done and if this has an effect on BMI, gastric emptying, and associated medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM). STUDY

designThis randomized controlled trial included 56 patients in the AP group and 53 patients in the AR group with BMI 30-40 kg/m

resultsThe AR group had significantly lower BMI and HbA1C and higher %TWL than the AP group. There was a significant difference between the two groups regarding % of gastric emptying with the AP group showing higher values at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. There were no significant differences regarding FBS, PPBS, and oral hypoglycemic use. The AR group had more incidence of GERD symptoms postoperatively yet with no significant difference.

conclusionLSG with antrum resection (2 cm from the pylorus) had significantly less postoperative BMI, higher %TWL, better control of type II DM, and more retention of gastric contents in patients with BMI 30-40 kg/m
