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

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are prevalent nutritional disorders following bariatric surgery. Although they are more prevalent after malabsorptive procedures such as bypass, they also occur in restrictive procedures such as gastric sleeve. The mechanisms that lead to the occurrence of these deficits are related to the presence of poor nutritional intake or poor adherence to multivitamins and multimineral supplementation. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is an acute neurological disorder resulting from thiamine deficiency. This syndrome is composed of two distinct phases: first, Wernicke Encephalopathy (WE), the acute phase of this syndrome, which is characterized by a triad of mental confusion, ocular signs, and ataxia, followed by the chronic phase of WKS, called Korsakoff's syndrome (KS), which is known for the presence of anterograde amnesia and confabulation. We aimed to report a case of a patient with WKS after bariatric surgery. The patient's retrospective chart review was performed in order to retrieve the relevant clinical data. The patient was a 24-year-old female student with a BMI of 48 kg/m
