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

backgroundThe rate of obesity is rapidly increasing in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but whether bariatric surgery in patients with IBD is safe and effective is not well understood.

methodsA retrospective review of patients with IBD undergoing bariatric surgery across a multi-state health system was performed. Thirty-day postoperative outcomes, weight loss, and long-term complications were recorded.

resultsThirty-one patients (81% female) with IBD and a mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) of 42.4 kg/m

conclusionIn carefully selected patients with IBD, bariatric surgery appears safe with respect to short-term infectious complications and results in sustained weight loss until at least 2 years postoperatively.
