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

backgroundInstruments that enable to select individuals that will benefit most from bariatric surgery (BS) are necessary to increase its cost-efficiency. Our goal was to assess if intake capacity, measured with a standardized test, predicts response to BS.

methodsPatients with criteria for BS were randomly allocated to laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). We measured caloric intake capacity before and 1 year after surgery using a standardized nutrient drink test. We evaluated if pre-surgery satiation could predict satiation and weight loss (%) 1 year after surgery using multiple regression modeling. Descriptive statistics are given as mean ± SD.

resultsFourteen women (48 ± 9 years old, BMI 41 ± 3 kg/m(2)) were evaluated before and 11 ± 2.6 months after surgery (seven LRYGB, seven LSG). Caloric intake capacity diminished after surgery (-950 ± 85 kcal on average [70 ± 8 % decrease over basal intake capacity]; p=0.002) and similarly in both LRYGB (72 ± 7 % decrease) and LSG groups (68 ± 8 % decrease); p=0.5. There was a significant weight reduction after surgery (-32 ± 10 kg [30 ± 8 % of total basal weight]) with a mean post-surgery BMI of 29 ± 2 kg/m(2). The best predictive model of weight loss (%) after surgery (R (2)=89 %, p=0.0009) included: BMI (p=0.0004), surgery type (p=0.01) and pre-surgery intake capacity (p=0.006). Weight loss was higher in heavier patients and those undergoing LRYGB. Patients with higher intake capacity had a poorer outcome independently of basal BMI and surgery type.

conclusionsCaloric intake capacity, as measured by a standard nutrient drink test, helps to predict weight loss after bariatric surgery. This test might be useful in algorithms of obesity treatment decision.
