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

Approximately 1.7 billion people around the world are defined as being overweight or obese. Various surgical options to treat obesity have quite recently been developed. Following efficient and lasting weight loss, up to one-third of the patients will require plastic and reconstructive surgery. Plastic surgery will thus be the final part of a modern bariatric treatment plan. Postbariatric plastic surgery interventions do not treat obesity but rather remove excess skin and restore the normal body contour and function of the bariatric patient. The presented work summarizes current concepts and limitations in modern plastic and reconstructive surgery of the bariatric patient population.
