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

backgroundThis international Young-IFSO survey aims to address variations, trends, and obstacles in bariatric/metabolic surgery (BMS) training globally, since expectations and resources differ among young surgeons.

methodsThe Young-IFSO scientific team designed an online confidential questionnaire with 50 questions analyzing the individual BMS training. The survey link was sent to all IFSO/ASMBS members and was shared in social media. All Young-IFSO members (age up to 45 years) were invited to participate between 16 December 2022 and 4 February 2023.

resultsA total of 240 respondents from 61 countries took the survey. Most respondents (70.24%) described their current position as a consultant surgeon with an average of 5.43 years' experience working in BMS, and 55% are working in a bariatric center of excellence. More than 50% of the respondents performed none or less than 10 BMS during residency. Preparation of the stomach and stapling during sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were the first steps performed, and SG was the first BMS completed as a first operating surgeon by most of the respondents (74%). In total, 201 (84.45%) surgeons reported to perform scientific work. Most respondents (90.13%) reported that surgical mentorship had improved their surgical skills.

conclusionThis international experts' survey underlines the lack of a standardized global surgical curriculum of BMS during residency. It shows that SG is the single most performed procedure by young surgeons. These data might underline the importance of advancing surgical education in BMS, and accredited fellowship programs should be offered globally to maintain and raise quality of BMS.
