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

backgroundThere is overwhelming evidence for the antidiabetic effect of obesity surgery, but few reports involve objective longitudinal measurements of severity of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study applies a grading scheme and analyses the prognostic impact of routine clinical factors. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis retrospective study includes 77 obese diabetic patients with a preoperative BMI of 48.9 ± 7.8 kg/m(2) who underwent gastric banding (n = 4), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n = 57), or sleeve gastrectomy (n = 16) between 2007 and 2013. A 6-point scoring system graded the level of antidiabetic therapy. Downgrading was calculated from the difference between pre- and postoperative grades.

resultsDowngrading reached its maximum at 3 months well before maximal weight loss: one grade in 6 (8 %) patients, two grades in 36 (47 %) patients, and three or more grades in 20 (26 %) patients. Age, gender, and preoperative weight had no impact on downgrading. There were no significant differences between gastric banding (median 1; 0-2), gastric bypass (median 2; 0-5), and sleeve gastrectomy (median 2; 0-4). Preoperative duration of T2DM and its severity grade were independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. The rate of patients who could discontinue insulin was more than 80 % when the duration of preexisting T2DM was less than 5 years as compared to 62 % when the duration was more than 5 years.

conclusionThe severity of T2DM downgrades in most patients within the initial period of postoperative weight loss. Downgrading increases with shorter duration and lower severity grade of pre-existing T2DM.
