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

backgroundLaparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) have shown different weight loss results. These differences might be partly due to dumping after LRYGB, forcing sweet eaters to switch to a healthy diet. The Dutch Sweet Eating Questionnaire (DSEQ) is validated to measure sweet eating. This study aims to investigate if sweet eating measured with the DSEQ influences weight loss.

methodsIn this multicenter randomized controlled trial, patients were included between 2013 and 2017 in two Dutch high-volume hospitals, and randomized with a 1:1 ratio between LRYGB and LSG. Primary outcome measure was weight loss. Secondary outcome measure was sweet eating behavior, measured with the DSEQ. Data was collected at baseline, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively.

resultsData was analyzed of 623 patients who underwent LRYGB (n = 308; 49.4%) or LSG (n = 315; 50.6%). Follow-up rates at 2 years postoperative were 67.1% for weight and 35.3% for DSEQ. At 2 years postoperative, mean BMI was significantly higher after LSG than LRYGB (respectively 30.88 versus 28.87 kg/m

conclusionNo significant correlation was found between preoperative or postoperative sweet eating measured with the DSEQ and weight loss. The decision-making for the procedure type is more complex than weight loss and dietary habits, and should also involve quality of life and presence of comorbidities. These factors should be addressed in future research along with longer term results.
