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

Combined kidney-pancreas transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage diabetic nephropathy. Weight gain post-transplant increases the risk for post-transplant complications and death due to cardiovascular events. Gastric pacemakers have been used for therapy of diabetic gastropathy and for the treatment of moderate morbid obesity. We report a patient who experienced significant weight gain following successful kidney-pancreas transplantation and was thereafter successfully treated for diabetic gastroparesis and morbid obesity by use of a laparoscopically implanted gastric pacemaker.
