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

backgroundBariatric surgery (BS) is a proven sustainable approach for obesity, and its frequency is increasing worldwide. However, the frequency of revision surgery (RS) is also increasing. This study aimed to evaluate the RS rate in Israel and compare RS to primary surgery (PS).

methodsData were obtained from the Israeli Bariatric Surgery Registry. All patients aged > 18 years who underwent BS between June 2013 and December 2016 were considered for inclusion. Sociodemographic and clinical data were analyzed.

resultsPS was performed in 28,707 patients and RS was performed in 4026 patients. The mean body mass index values were 42.1 ± 5.0 and 41.3 ± 7.0 kg/m

conclusionsThe RS rate is continuously increasing, and it should be tapered according to indications and feasibility. Our findings indicate that RS can be performed with acceptable complication rates and that restrictive surgery should be converted to bypass surgery to achieve acceptable weight loss with fewer complications.
