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

introductionMorbidly obese patients have lower quality of life (QOL) when compared to the general population. So far, no studies have compared gender and procedural differences in gastrointestinal QOL after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

methodsPatients before and after bariatric surgery completed the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), a 36-item questionnaire with five subscores. Differences between SG and RYGB were analyzed, as were gender differences.

resultsSome 186 patients completed the questionnaire, 75 before surgery, 56 within 6 months, and 55 within 24 months after surgery. Total GIQLI score and all subscores were significantly better within 24 months after surgery (80.9 ± 19.2 vs. 109.2 ± 17.7, p < 0.001). The specific gastrointestinal items 'feeling of fullness', 'eating pleasure', 'slow speed of eating', and 'diarrhea' were also significantly better after surgery whereas many other gastrointestinal items were not different. Total GIQLI score was significantly higher for SG than for RYGB within 6 months, while there were no significant differences within 24 months after surgery. There were also no significant differences in specific gastrointestinal items between SG and RYGB within 24 months after surgery and in total GIQLI score between female and male patients.

conclusionTotal GIQLI score and all subscores were higher within 24 months after bariatric surgery. Total GIQLI score was significantly higher after SG when compared to RYGB within 6 months, but not different within 24 months after surgery. There was no difference in total GIQLI score between female and male patients.
