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

backgroundVery few studies examined the safety and effectiveness of OAGB among adolescents. We undertook this task.

methodsRetrospective review of consecutive adolescents (N = 91, 11-21 years old) who underwent primary OAGB in Lebanon and Egypt (January 2013-January 2018). Data retrieved included anthropometric variables (weight, BMI, EWL%, TWL%), nutritional/metabolic outcomes (hemoglobin, protein, vitamin B12, albumin, Ca, HbA1c), and obesity-related conditions (T2DM, hypertension, depression, PCOS, OSA, and GERD). Data were retrieved preoperatively and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years.

resultsMean age was 16.6 years, weight 117.6 kg, BMI 42 kg/m

conclusionOAGB is a safe and effective long-term procedure for adolescents. Weight loss and BMI reduction were significant, and remissions of obesity-related conditions were achieved and maintained. Larger studies are required.
