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 growing evidence that bariatric surgery can lead to remission of metabolic syndrome. But the mechanism by which bariatric surgery alleviates metabolic syndrome is unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeveral present hypotheses which include decreased caloric intake following the surgeries, foregut and hindgut hypothesis, bile acid and bacterial flora changes, and proposed gastric center hypothesis were discussed.

resultsNone of the currently available hypotheses is solely capable to lead to a reasonable explanation regarding improvement of metabolic syndrome by various bariatric surgical procedures. Proposed gastric center hypothesis could give a better explanation of the mechanism.

conclusionsAll the present bariatric surgeries are involved in changes of the stomach. There could be some particular cells on the stomach, which could secrete unknown special hormones, and then lead to control the metabolic process.
