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

backgroundAdaptive thermogenesis (AT) is described as a change in resting metabolic rate (RMR) that is greater than would be predicted from changes in lean body mass (LBM) and fat mass (FM) alone during periods of energy imbalance. Whereas an AT-related downregulation of RMR has been implicated in suboptimal weight loss and weight regain after nonsurgical weight loss, defense against AT may underpin the durable weight loss after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and other bariatric surgeries. However, methodological differences across the few studies that have evaluated postoperative AT limit interpretation as to the effects of these procedures on RMR.

objectiveTo quantify AT 6 months after LRYGB and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).

settingThe study was conducted in a large university hospital in the United States.

methodsChanges in body composition and RMR were assessed in 13 severely obese adults 6 months after LRYGB (n = 8) and LAGB (n = 5). AT was calculated as the difference between measured RMR and RMR predicted from LBM, FM, age, and sex before and after surgery.

resultsRMR significantly decreased after LRYGB (-270±96 kcal/d, P<.01) but not after LAGB. Despite significantly greater reductions in weight, FM, and LBM with LRYGB than LAGB, AT responses after LRYGB (15±110 kcal/d, P = .7) and LAGB (42±97 kcal/d, P = .4) were similar (P = .7).

conclusionDespite significant weight and body composition changes, AT was minimal after LRYGB. A blunting of AT may be an additional mechanism that favors sustainable weight loss with LRYGB.
