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

contextPost-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a complication of bariatric surgery including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). It remains unclear why only some individuals develop PBH.

objectiveTo identify clinical characteristics distinguishing post-RYGB individuals with PBH, versus without symptomatic hypoglycemia (RYGB non-hypo). DESIGN AND

settingCross-sectional observational study in academic referral centre. Adults 18-70, without current diabetes, were recruited into three groups: (1) PBH (n = 39); (2) RYGB non-hypo (n = 25); and (3) individuals without history of upper gastrointestinal surgery (n = 17). Outcome measures included between-group differences in medical history and medication use, and survey-based scores for hypoglycemia, dumping syndrome, and autonomic symptoms.

resultsPBH participants were 92% female, age 53.4 ± 11.9 y, BMI 31.2 ± 5.6 kg/m

conclusionHigh rates of IBS, dumping symptoms, and orthostatic hypotension suggest disordered autonomic regulation as a potential contributor to PBH. Self-reported preoperative symptoms and family history of hypoglycemia suggest possible preoperative differences in glucose metabolism in PBH.
