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

backgroundThere are an increasing number of patients presenting for plastic surgery after massive weight loss, and many of these patients have residual obesity that may compromise outcomes. The impact of residual obesity on the development of postoperative complications in postbariatric patients undergoing plastic surgery procedures is unclear.

methodsWe report the outcomes of 207 patients who underwent plastic surgery following RYGB from January 2011 to December 2018.

resultsTwo hundred and seven patients (196 females, 11 males) with a mean age of 42 years underwent 335 separate operations. The average BMI at the time of plastic surgery was 27.43 kg/m

conclusionIn this group of patients, with specified anthropometric and clinical profiles, the residual obesity did not influence the incidence of postoperative complications in postbariatric patients after plastic surgery.
