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

backgroundRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) has been found to be the most efficient way to lose weight and maintain the weight loss in morbid obesity. However, with the formation of a new stomach and the modification of intestinal anatomy, there are significant changes on bone metabolism. The objectives of this study were to evaluate effects of weight loss on bone metabolism after Roux-en Y gastric bypass in patients with morbid obesity.

methodsOur study included 70 patients with morbid obesity; RYGB was done for all patients. Daily postoperative oral supplementation with 1,000 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D was done for each patient. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), total body fat, total lean tissue mass, bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), total bone area (TBA; using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-OH vitamin D, 24-h urinary calcium, and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) were assessed preoperatively and 1 year after surgery.

resultsIn our study, females comprised 70% of cases. The mean age was 35+/-8.8 years. One year after RYGB, BW decreased significantly from 132.8+/-26.5 to 90.3+/-17.3 kg (p=0.001). BMI decreased significantly from 48+/-7.3 to 32.6+/-4.1 kg/m(2) (p=0.001). BMC decreased significantly from 2,968.6+/-71.4 to 2,700.8+/-45.4 g (p=0.001). BMD decreased significantly from 1.026+/-0.03 to 1.22+/-0.015 g/cm(2) (p=0.001). TBA decreased significantly from 2,356.2+/-35.4 to 2,216.3+/-43.5 cm(2) (p=0.001). Serum calcium, 24-h urinary calcium, and BSAP were not significantly decreased while 25-OH vitamin D and PTH were not significantly increased after surgery.

conclusionsFrom this study, it is shown that RYGBP operation gives very good results as regards reduction of body weight in morbidly obese patients. Postoperative supplementation with calcium and vitamin D partially corrects osteoporosis. Thus, these patients need periodic follow-up for BMD, PTH, calcium, serum vitamin D, and markers of bone resorption and formation specially postmenopausal female.
