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

purposeLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) drastically affects body composition. However, studies focusing on the association between the changes in the pre-and postoperative muscle mass and postoperative results are limited. We evaluated the association between changes in the muscle mass and weight loss and fat reduction.

methodsThis retrospective study included 29 consecutive patients who underwent both LSG and a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) consecutively. We investigated changes in the body composition on the BIA and visceral fat area (VFA) on computed tomography and correlational changes in muscle mass with weight loss and fat reduction.

resultsThe total weight loss (%TWL) 12 months after surgery was 30.9%. The VFAs pre- and postoperatively were 224 and 71.0 cm

conclusionThe rate of change in %ASM was positively correlated with weight loss and fat reduction.
