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

introductionPostoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are complications of general anesthesia. Patient-specific factors, type of surgery and a variety of drugs determine the frequency. Clinical experience shows nausea and vomiting to be very frequent in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

aimTo detect the onset and extent of nausea and vomiting in the group of morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective data bank analysis (since 2004) of all patients with body mass index > 35 kg/m

resultsOne hundred and thirty-eight patients were included. There was a significant difference between the morbidly obese group and the control group concerning the frequency of postoperative nausea (15.9% vs. 55.1%; p < 0.001). In patients receiving volatile anesthetics a significant difference between groups concerning frequency of PONV was not observed. Intravenous anesthetics were suitable to reduce PONV in the control group but not in the morbidly obese group (12.5% vs. 56.8%, p < 0.001). With given prophylaxis PONV events still occurred in 15.6% vs. 48.8% (p = 0.003).

conclusionsMorbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery are at higher risk of suffering from PONV than non-morbidly obese patients. To reduce the PONV incidence in morbidly obese patients, further research, especially focusing on more efficient use of antiemetic drugs, seems to be necessary.
