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

backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become an increasingly popular metabolic surgical procedure. Alteration in motor gastric function is a fundamental feature following LSG but still remains controversial. PURPOSE: To determine the gastric emptying time 3 month after LSG, correlations between gastric emptying time and body weight, weight loss, and glycemia levels, alongside determining predictive factors of weight loss at the 3-month follow-up. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-one patients were recruited in this study. Gastric emptying time was measured using a standard solid-phase gastric emptying scan at both baseline and 3 months after LSG. Paired sample t tests and a general linear model with repeated measures were applied to investigate the alterations in major parameters after surgery. Univariate analyses were performed to evaluate the factors predicting weight loss at the 3-month follow-up.

resultsCompared with baseline levels, gastric emptying time, body weight, and HbA

conclusionsThe rate of gastric emptying increased following LSG. Patients with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes at baseline had longer gastric emptying times prior to treatment and significantly shortened emptying times following surgery.
