Article in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04427644 (Is Body Mass Index and Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Score Important in Perioperative Complications of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Before Discharge? A Retrospective Cohort Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers.

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.

Abstract

backgroundMorbidly obese patients are at higher risk of complications after surgery. In bariatric surgery, pre- and intra-operative checklists are commonly used to identify high-risk patients preoperatively, to decrease the number of postoperative complications. This pilot study evaluates the effect of a postoperative checklist in bariatric surgery, addressing regularly measured parameters, on the occurrence and early recognition of complications.

methodsAn in-house developed postoperative checklist was used on the first postoperative day after bariatric surgery and included information on nausea, pain, temperature, heart rate, and laboratory markers. Complications were scored using the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification, and three groups were formed: no complications (CD0), minor complications (CD1 and 2), and major complications (≥CD3a). Differences between groups were analyzed using nonparametric tests.

resultsSix hundred ninety-four subjects were included (79.5% female, age 42.6 ± 10.8 years, BMI 43.8 ± 5.8 kg/m

conclusionThe patient's willingness for discharge, in combination with hemoglobin decrease, may be the best early predictors of major complications after bariatric surgery. This postoperative checklist may be an adequate instrument to identify patients who can be safely discharged home on the first postoperative day and thereby play a part in patient management after bariatric surgery.
