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

Obesity in pediatric patients is rising with nearly one third of children in the USA classified as overweight and up to 16-18% of the adolescent population obese with at least one comorbid condition. Consequently, bariatric procedures in this population have increased without consistent recommendations for follow-up and transition to adult providers. This review describes the known and potential long-term consequences of bariatric surgery in pediatric patients, reviews the current literature on transitions of care for adolescent patients with chronic illnesses. Additionally, this review summarizes recommendations from the literature for developing a standardized program for transitioning care for post-bariatric surgical patients and offers useful tools and guidelines for doing so.
