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

contextMetabolic surgery is currently the most efficient treatment for obesity, but concern is raised about the possible long-term nutritional side effects. Bone metabolism is often adversely affected after surgery, but literature data are contradictory.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of bone mass parameters in the first year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in relation to anthropometric and body composition parameters and specific hormones of obesity.

designWe conducted a prospective study on 75 patients with obesity that underwent metabolic surgery over a course of 18 months at our center, with a follow-up period of 12 months. SUBJECTS AND

methodsAll patients underwent a complex preoperative assessment and were required to return for medical follow-up at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Each visit included anthropometric parameters, DEXA and determination of specific hormonal parameters.

resultsWe noticed a significant improvement in anthropometric and body composition parameters after surgery. The value of adiponectin presented a significant increase after surgery and leptin showed a significant decrease at 6 and 12 months postoperative; ghrelin level decreased postoperative compared to preoperative, but without statistical significance. We observed no reduction in BMD after surgery, but a significant improvement in BMC at 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative. Ghrelin negatively correlated to BMD preoperative.

conclusionsDespite the significant alterations in anthropometric, body composition and hormonal parameters, we found no negative effect on BMD and BMC in our study population.
