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 sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is becoming a primary bariatric/metabolic surgical procedure for treating obesity and related type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). This study presents the long-term outcome of LSG about the remission and recurrence of T2D.

methodsA total of 59 obese patients (38 women and 21 male) with T2D (mean body mass index [BMI] 37.6 ± 5.1 kg/m

resultsThe weight loss at 5 years after surgery was 23.5% and the mean BMI decreased to 27.7 ± 4.5 kg/m

conclusionLSG is an effective procedure for T2D treatment but a significant portion of patients had their T2D recurrence at long-term. LSG is better recommended to patients with their ABCD score ≥ 5 and dedication to maintain a good weight loss is important.
