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

backgroundBariatric surgery has gained reputation for its metabolic effect and is increasingly being performed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there is still a gray area regarding the choice of surgical procedure according to patient characteristics due to inadequate evidences, so far. We aim to compare the efficacy of two most commonly performed bariatric/metabolic surgeries, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric bypass (GB) with regard to remission of T2DM after surgery.

methodsOutcomes of 579 (349 female and 230 male) patients who had undergone SG (109) or GB (470) for the treatment of T2DM with 1-year follow-up were assessed. The remission of T2DM after SG or GB surgery was evaluated in matched groups using the ABCD scoring system. The ABCD score is composed of the age, BMI, C-peptide levels and duration of T2DM (years).

resultsThe weight loss of the SG patient at 1 year after surgery was similar to the GB patients [26.3 (1.1) vs. 32.6 (1.2) %; p = 0.258]. The mean BMI decreased from 35.7 (7.2) to 28.3 (3.7) Kg/m

conclusionsIn conclusion, although both SG and GB are effective metabolic surgery, GB carries a higher power on T2DM remission than SG. ABCD score is useful in T2DM patient classification and selection for different procedures.
