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

introductionThe most popular scale to stratify the postoperative risk is the Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Score (OS-MRS). The design and ease of interpretation make the scale a potential tool for clinical use.

aimTo evaluate the usefulness of the OS-MRS scale in the enrollment of patients for laparoscopic bariatric procedures, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). MATERIAL AND

methodsThe medical records of patients who underwent LSG or LRYGB due to obesity between January 2010 and December 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. The decision of choosing the surgical procedure was made on the basis of OS-MRS risk category. The primary endpoint of this study was the 90-day mortality, and the secondary endpoint was the presence of major complications.

resultsThere were 107 patients including 66 women and 41 men. The OS-MRS classes were A (48%), B (47%) and C (5%). The LSG was applied to patients with higher body mass index and to patients of class C. The secondary endpoints occurred in 6 patients, distributed in 10% of class A, 2% of class B and 0% of class C patients (p < 0.05). In 5 of 6 cases the endpoint was observed after LRYGB. Fatal cases were not observed.

conclusionsThe OS-MRS can be a useful clinical tool for choosing the appropriate laparoscopic bariatric procedure, depending on the risk of postoperative complications. Low risk of postoperative complications should not lower the watchfulness of the surgeon.
