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

backgroundBoth poor quality of life (QoL) and cognitive impairment are common in persons with severe obesity. Work in other patient populations show that cognitive impairment is associated with poorer QoL, though this possibility has not been examined in bariatric surgery candidates.

objectivesWe sought to determine the association between cognitive performance and QoL, both total and work related, in a sample of bariatric surgery candidates.

settingThree sites were used for data collection, including the Neuropsychiatric Research Institute in Fargo, North Dakota, Columbia University in New York, and Cornell University in New York.

methodsSixty participants from the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery project were assessed at preoperative baseline.

resultsHierarchical regression analyses showed that poorer cognitive function was independently associated with lower total QoL and that both reported and objectively measured cognitive impairment were associated with poorer work-related QoL.

conclusionsThese preliminary findings suggest that cognitive impairment may contribute to poorer total and work-related QoL in bariatric surgery candidates. Future studies should examine whether interventions to improve cognitive function can improve QoL and other outcomes in this population.
