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

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most effective weight loss procedures for severe obesity. However, there is recent evidence of increased alcohol intake and new onset alcohol use disorder (AUD) by 2 years following both operations. Although the two surgeries differ anatomically, they lead to similar increased drinking. The mechanisms behind increased alcohol intake post-surgery remain unclear. One theory is that with a marked reduction in food intake post-surgery, there is an "addiction" transfer from food to alcohol intake. Another theory implicates the higher rate of absorption of alcohol post-SG and post-RYGB for the increased alcohol intake. Elucidating the mechanisms could help provide new therapeutic targets for preventing increased alcohol intake and AUD, as well as identify measures that could be used in a clinical setting to help predict the likelihood of AUD. These findings could also help guide the development of new surgical procedures that do not lead to increased alcohol intake.
