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

STUDY

designRetrospective chart review with matched control.

objectiveTo evaluate the indications and complications of spine surgery on super obese patients.

methodsA retrospective review assessed super obese patients undergoing spine surgery at a level-1 trauma and spine referral center from 2012 to 2016. Outcomes were compared to age-matched controls with body mass index (BMI) <50 kg/m

resultsSixty-three super obese patients undergoing 86 surgeries were identified. Sixty patients (78 surgeries) were in the control group. Age and number of elective versus nonelective cases were not significantly different. Mean BMI of the super obese group was 55 kg/m

conclusionThe complication rate of spine surgery in super obese patients (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m
