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

More papers have discussed the importance of preoperative detection and eradication of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in patients before and after Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the role of preoperative H. pylori eradication vs non-treatment in the development of post-op complications in the setting of bariatric and metabolic surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (HP) on metabolic and bariatric surgical complications through a systematic review and meta-analysis. A systematic search on the influence of HP infection on postoperative complications in bariatric surgery was conducted. The methodological quality of the included studies was rated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Rating scale. In case of consistent reporting of the data, a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 19 studies containing 261,186 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 41.88 ± 7.40 years with a mean BMI of 45.53 ± 3.16 kg/m
