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

backgroundPathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) includes insulin resistance (IR) and insufficient insulin secretion. Remission in obese patients can be achieved through surgically induced weight loss. Sleeve gastrectomy is a novel technique for the treatment of morbid obesity, and its effects on the metabolic syndrome and T2D have not yet been fully understood.

methodsFrom February 2008 to July 2010, sleeve gastrectomy as stand-alone treatment for severe or morbid obesity was performed in 23 patients with T2D or impaired fasting glucose (IFG). No postoperative complications occurred and patients were dismissed from hospital on day 2 after surgery. Body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin were determined before and up to 24 months after surgery. IR and beta cell function were calculated using the modified homeostasis model assessment (HOMA2).

resultsBMI, FBG and fasting insulin improved significantly as early as 3 months after surgery. Threefold increased preoperative insulin resistance (3.05) decreased to near-normal values (1.14) during the same period. Interestingly, overall beta cell function diminished at 12 months of follow-up (79.6 %), in comparison with preoperative values (117.8 %). Patients with a markedly reduced preoperative beta cell function (<40 %) did not achieve a complete remission after surgery.

conclusionsIn obese patients with T2D and IFG, commonly characterized by an augmented beta cell function and an increased insulin resistance, sleeve gastrectomy induces remission through reduction of insulin resistance. Preoperative IR and beta cell function calculated by HOMA2 deserve further studies in patients undergoing metabolic surgery.
