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

objectiveThis study evaluated changes in weight status and cardiometabolic parameters following bariatric surgery (BS) among adolescents with obesity using population-based real-world data.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study used electronic health records from Clalit Health Services, Israel. Adolescents aged 12-20 years who underwent BS between 2010 and 2024 were included. Demographic characteristics, socioeconomic position (SEP), anthropometry, blood pressure, and laboratory parameters were extracted. Longitudinal changes in BMI and cardiometabolic outcomes were analyzed using mixed-effects models adjusted for sex, ethnicity, SEP, age at BS, and baseline BMI. Median follow-up was 5.8 years.

resultsThe cohort included 1035 adolescents (69.7% female; median age at surgery ~18.6 years), with sleeve gastrectomy as the predominant procedure. BMI declined significantly over time (p

conclusionsAdolescent BS was associated with sustained improvements in BMI and cardiometabolic risk factors in a large real-world cohort, supporting its long-term effectiveness across population subgroups.
