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

With improved care, the number of sickle cell patients with obesity is increasing. The experience with bariatric surgery in this patient population is limited. We describe four adult patients with mild sickling genotypes who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The patients achieved marked weight loss with percentage of excess weight loss ranging from 56 to 68%. The surgery was associated with decreases in white blood cell counts and lower random glucose concentrations. No short-term or long-term complications related to the surgery were observed. Our report supports bariatric surgery as a feasible weight-loss option in this patient population.
