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

The prevalence of obesity in adolescents is rising, including in those with kidney failure. Obesity increases the risk of complications during dialysis and may be associated with poorer outcomes after transplantation. Bariatric surgery has been found safe and effective in adults on dialysis. This Clinical Insights is about a 14-year-old female with kidney failure and obesity. She was initially managed on peritoneal dialysis but subsequently gained further weight. Multiple interventions for weight loss were unsuccessful, including the switch to haemodialysis. The patient underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy after extensive multidisciplinary assessment. She lost > 30 kg over 6 months (BMI decreased from 48 to 32 kg/m
