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

backgroundA sub-study of the Ontario Bariatric Registry was conducted to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on mobility, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and employment status.

methodsThe 1-year change in mobility following bariatric surgery was evaluated using the mobility domain of the EuroQOL-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), which was self-administered at baseline and 1 year after bariatric surgery along with questions on HRU. Another questionnaire was used to document employment status at time of surgery and 1 year later.

resultsThe population included 304 individuals (mean age = 46 years; 85 % female). At baseline, 68 % of participants had some problems in walking compared to 14 % at 1 year following surgery (p < 0.001). The EQ-5D-5L health utility score increased from 0.73 to 0.90 (p < 0.001). The number of hospitalizations increased significantly before and after surgery (p = 0.021). Of the 304 study participants, 138 completed the questionnaire and responses indicated that more individuals reported a change in their employment status within 1 year following surgery (26 %) compared to 1 year prior to the surgery (9 %) (p < 0.001).

conclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, there is a suggestion that bariatric surgery has a major impact on mobility and HRQoL. More research is warranted to understand the benefits, costs, and cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery in Canada.
