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

purposePrevious research demonstrates that exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is associated with development of obesity. The same mechanisms mediating this relationship could theoretically affect attempts to lose weight in adulthood. However, it is unclear whether or not exposure to ACEs impacts the effectiveness of bariatric surgery. The present study aimed to examine the association of exposure to ACEs to postoperative weight loss outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred ninety-eight patients undergoing bariatric surgery were evaluated for their exposure to ACEs, determined by a presurgical questionnaire and recorded as an ACEs score. Percent total weight loss (%TWL) was calculated to evaluate postoperative weight loss at 1-, 3-, and 6-month intervals postoperatively. One hundred forty-two participants were available for follow-up at the 6-month postoperative interval.

resultsThe sample consisted of 167 women and 31 men with a mean age of 47.7. Twenty-five percent of participants experienced high exposure to ACEs, defined as experiencing ≥ 4 ACEs. The average %TWL at 6 months was 16.52%. Multilevel modeling found no significant relationship between ACEs score and %TWL at any of the postoperative time intervals, both before and after adjusting for age, sex, and race.

conclusionHigh exposure to ACEs was not associated with poorer weight loss outcomes, and participants with a large number of ACEs generally lost the anticipated amount of weight.
