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

backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a popular bariatric procedure for treating morbid obesity. This study aimed to investigate the relation between SG and lipid metabolism in an obese diabetic rat model.

methodsForty-five male Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were divided into three groups: sham-operated (SO) control, gastric banding (GB), and SG. Six weeks after surgery, metabolic parameters, including plasma adiponectin level, small bowel transit, mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α and PPARγ in the liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue, and that of adiponectin in white adipose tissue, and triglyceride (TG) contents in the liver and skeletal muscle were measured.

resultsMetabolic parameters in the GB and SG groups were significantly improved compared with those in the SO group. However, plasma total cholesterol (TC) and free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations were significantly lower while the plasma adiponectin level was significantly higher in the SG group than in the GB and SO groups. In addition, small bowel transit time was significantly shorter in the SG group than in the other two groups. Furthermore, in the SG group, mRNA expression of PPARα in the liver and skeletal muscle and that of adiponection and PPARγ in white adipose tissue were significantly higher, while TG in the liver and skeletal muscle were significantly lower, compared with those in the other two groups.

conclusionsThese results suggest that SG improves lipid metabolism compared with GB, although there were no significant differences in the effect on weight loss between the two procedures.
