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

introductionBariatric surgery has a significant impact on dietary intake, weight loss, patient's metabolism and also on defaecation stereotypes.

aimTo investigate changes in bowel habits of morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). MATERIAL AND

methodsThis was a prospective clinical cohort study conducted to assess changes in bowel habits after LSG in a single institution.

resultsIn total, 124 patients were enrolled in the study (age 47.1 ±11.2 years, body mass index (BMI) 44.3 ±6.8 kg/m

conclusionsThe present study has not revealed increased prevalence/severity of postoperative constipation or anal incontinence 6 months after LSG. Our findings suggest that weight loss in patients after LSG might be associated with an improvement of constipation symptoms of individual patients.
