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

introductionAs obesity has become a major health problem in Poland and bariatric procedures are the best way of treatment, an increasing trend has been observed in Polish bariatric surgery for the last decade.

aimOur purpose was to provide an updated overview of the bariatric surgical procedures performed in Polish institutions in comparison to the situation in Europe as well as to analyze the trends in Polish bariatric surgery over the last decades. MATERIAL AND

methodsA questionnaire about the number and type of bariatric procedures performed in 2016 was sent to all Polish surgical departments. Two hundred and sixty surgical departments returned the questionnaires.

resultsTwenty-seven departments reported having performed bariatric operative or endoscopic procedures in 2016. The total number of procedures reported was 1958, the most popular being the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). More than 99% of procedures were performed using laparoscopic techniques. The most common operations were: LSG (64.6%, n = 1032) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) (18.2%; n = 291), followed by one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) (8.3%; n = 132) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) (7.3%; n = 117).

conclusionsRegisters of bariatric procedures provide information that helps in planning treatment and predicting possible complications. Adequate reporting of bariatric procedures is necessary to present the importance of the high incidence of obesity and the importance of its treatment. To collect reliable data, a national Polish bariatric surgery registry should be created.
