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

introductionBariatric surgery has been shown to be a safe and durable intervention for patients struggling with obesity and metabolic syndrome, including hypertension. Buchwald et al. reported hypertension resolution rates in 67.1% and improvement in 78.5% following aggregate bariatric surgery. The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is becoming increasingly utilized as a primary bariatric surgery, but lacks long-term outcome data. There are a growing number of studies reporting outcome data beyond 5 years.

objectiveThis study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on hypertension amongst obese patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted through Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Dare, Cochrane library, and HTA database. The search terms used were broad: sleeve gastrectomy AND hypertension OR blood pressure. Adult patients undergoing LSG with follow-up hypertension outcome results of at least 5 years were included. Revisional surgeries were excluded. Two independent reviewers were used.

resultsFourteen studies were included in this systematic review, which included 3550 subjects in total. Mean age was 41.1 ± 10.7 years. Mean pre-operative BMI and weight were 47.7 ± 8.83 kg/m

conclusionFrom this systematic review, LSG is an effective intervention for bariatric patients with hypertension. In addition to the observed reduction in the incidence of hypertension, it is likely that LSG may lead to additional health system benefits such as cost savings due to reductions in antihypertensive medications. Further prospective studies should include estimates of cost savings associated with reductions in chronic antihypertensive medication usage.
