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

With increasing worldwide obesity rates, the surgery of choice has become the vertical transected gastric bypass, showing short-term improvements in weight loss and comorbidities. However, corresponding 10-year data regarding such endpoints is limited. The objective of this review was to assess such evidence. A literature search yielded a total of five studies, of which three had extractable data. Results revealed a reduction in the weighted mean body mass index (BMI), from a pre- to post-operative mean BMI of 47.5 kg/m(2) ± 2.0 to 33.4 kg/m(2) ± 4.4 at 10 years. The weighted mean excess weight loss was 61.4 % ± 13.5. Although these results suggest that weight reduction may be sustainable in the long term, this systematic review demonstrates a lack of strong evidence to support favorable long-term outcomes following vertical transected gastric bypass for obesity.
