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

Background: We aimed to evaluate the medium-term efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) Methods: We identified severely obese patients [body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m Results: Ninety-six patients were investigated; 44 (45.8%) were women. The mean pre-operative BMI was 45.2 kg/m Conclusions: Bariatric surgery with SG may be preferable to RYGB for obese patients with NAFLD and T2DM based on the rates of remission of markers of these co-morbidities. However, our results need to be confirmed in prospective trials. Understanding the metabolic effects of specific bariatric surgical procedures may facilitate the development of a personalised approach to weight-loss surgery.
