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

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most common form of obesity with a genetic basis. The short expected survival time due to numerous accompanying diseases and their complications is the reason for research on the maximally efficient method of treatment of obesity in this syndrome. Undertaken attempts of conservative treatment, for example with somatostatin, are ineffective. It seems that the only effective treatment of obesity in this syndrome may be surgical. In this article we present 2 cases of patients with PWS who underwent surgery consisting of biliopancreatic diversion (BPD)/Scopinaro procedure. The BPD/Scopinaro operation in selected cases of disciplined patients with a co-operative family, which we find of key importance, can be considered as one option of treatment of this syndrome in patients with prior neglect of conservative treatment.
