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

introductionBariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity and metabolic disorders. In Poland, the growing prevalence of obesity has led to an increase in the demand for these procedures. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most frequently performed surgeries, while newer techniques, such as single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), single-anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI), and Nissen sleeve gastrectomy (N-SG) are emerging. The Comprehensive Specialist Care in Bariatrics (KOS-BAR) program, introduced in 2021, aims to standardize bariatric care in Poland.

aimThis study evaluates the state of bariatric surgery in Poland in 2023, focusing on procedure volumes, regional variations, and the role of KOS-BAR centers. MATERIALS AND

methodsA nationwide survey was conducted among bariatric surgery centers affiliated with the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Chapter of the Association of Polish Surgeons. Data on the number and types of surgeries performed in 2023 were collected and compared with previous reports to analyze trends.

resultsA total of 54 centers, including 18 KOS-BAR centers, participated in the survey, reporting a total of 9102 procedures performed in 2023. SG accounted for 82% of surgeries, followed by RYGB (9.7%) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (3.9%). Newer procedures, such as N-SG (0.4%), SASI (0.8%), and SADI-S (0.2%) were less frequently performed. Over a half of all surgeries (59.3%) were performed in KOS-BAR centers. Significant regional variations in procedure volumes were observed.

conclusionsBariatric surgery in Poland has seen substantial growth, with SG as the dominant procedure. However, regional disparities in access to care and the limited adoption of newer techniques persist. Expanding services to underserved regions and establishing a national registry are crucial for improving patient care and outcomes.
