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

backgroundObesity is associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA) and both induce endothelial dysfunction. However, the effect of OSA on endothelial function after bariatric surgery has not been investigated yet.

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the impact of weight loss on endothelial function in patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the first 6 months after bariatric surgery.

settingThis study was conducted at a university hospital, in Brazil.

methodsThe sample consisted of 56 patients homogeneously divided into groups with and without OSA. All patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and the diagnosis of OSA was performed by polysomnography. The patients were evaluated preoperatively and 6 months after surgery. The evaluations included anthropometric measures, electrical bioimpedance, clinical symptoms of OSA, and endothelial function (flow-mediated dilation). RYGB improved the anthropometric, bioimpedance, and endothelial function results in both groups.

resultsPatients presented a significant clinical improvement in OSA symptoms throughout the study. However, patients with OSA had an improvement in the endothelial function 2.5% lower (p < 0.001) than patients without APNEA syndrome.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that the existence of OSA prior to bariatric surgery interferes in the improvement of endothelial function.
