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

Bariatric surgery may have an effect on myocardial mechanics in individuals with obesity and diabetes. In this study, two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography was applied to evaluate the changes of left ventricular myocardial mechanics in individuals with obesity and diabetes before and after bariatric surgery. A total of 58 individuals with obesity were divided into an obesity-only group (30 patients) and an obesity + diabetes group (28 patients). Routine echocardiographic parameters and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) were compared between the two groups at baseline and 6 and 12 months postoperatively. At all three time points, GLS was lower in the obesity + diabetes group than in the obesity-only group. In both groups, the GLS increased successively at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. The change in GLS (∆GLS) from baseline to 6 months was higher than the △GLS from 6 to 12 months in both groups. The △GLS from baseline to 6 months was lower in the obesity + diabetes group than in the obesity-only group. Therefore, obese individuals can benefit from bariatric surgery, which includes improved heart function, delayed disease progression.
