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.
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
introductionThe certification and accreditation process of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) aims to improve the quality of care and enhance transparency in accredited centers. To achieve these goals a high level of infrastructural and staffing requirements are set out by the DGAV.
aimsThe Surgical Working Group on Obesity Treatment and Metabolic Surgery (CAADIP) survey 2017 of the members of the German Bariatric Society aimed to identify the perceived and encountered barriers in the DGAV accreditation process.
methodsBetween February and March 2017 an online poll was conducted of all members of the CAADIP on topics pertaining to the accreditation process.
resultsA total of 214 (51%) CAADIP members participated in the poll, 47% reported that they worked at a non-certified center and 53% worked at a DGAV certified center. Of these, 68% reported employment in a unit with the lowest accreditation level, 21% in an intermediate level center, 11% reported employment in a unit with the highest accreditation level (Center of Excellence) and 86% of those currently working in non-accredited units stated that they aimed for future accreditation. Reasons stated for not having obtained accreditation were recent establishment of the new bariatric specialty (54%), lack of bariatric case numbers (71%), lack of human resources and infrastructure (28% and 13%, respectively). Of those surgeons in non-accredited centers 24% stated that the hospital management had no interest in a certification and 12% of the surgeons themselves felt that accreditation was unnecessary.
conclusionThe majority of CAADIP members strived for DGAV certification. The main barriers encountered and perceived were the specific time (reference years) and caseload requirements.
