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

backgroundWe applied the novel Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease EVENTs equations to evaluate cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health and estimated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk after bariatric surgery.

methodsAmong 7804 patients (aged 20-79 years) undergoing bariatric surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center during 1999 to 2022, CVD risk factors from before surgery to 2 years after surgery were extracted from electronic health records. The 10- and 30-year risks of total CVD, atherosclerotic CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure (HF) were estimated for patients without CVD history at each time point (n=124-2910), using the social deprivation index-enhanced Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease EVENTs equations. Paired

resultsCKM health was significantly improved after surgery with lower systolic blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and diabetes prevalence, and higher high-density lipoprotein and estimated glomerular filtration rate. The 10-year risks of total CVD and its subtypes decreased by 21.7% to 56.3% at 1 year after surgery and by 14.6% to 46.5% at 2 years after surgery, with the largest reduction observed for HF. Younger age, White race, >30% weight loss, and diabetes history were associated with greater HF risk reductions. Similar results were found for the 30-year CVD risk estimates.

conclusionsBariatric surgery significantly improves CKM health and reduces estimated CVD risk, particularly HF, by 47% to 56% within 1 to 2 years after surgery. HF risk reduction may vary by patient's demographics, weight loss, and disease history, which warrants further research.
