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

The changes in depressive symptomatology during the first year following one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) were evaluated and its association with uric acid (sUA). Fifty patients were included in this analysis. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for measuring depressive symptomatology, blood samples, and anthropometric measurements were assessed before (T0), at 6 (T6), and 12 months (T12) after surgery. There was a significant reduction in BDI total score at T6 (- 5.6 (95% CI - 2.1, - 9.1) points; p = 0.001) and at T12 (- 4.3 (95% CI - 0.9, - 7.9) points; p = 0.011). BMI loss was unrelated to depressive symptomatology. Patients with moderate to severe depressive symptomatology presented lower sUA levels than patients with none or minimal to mild (p = 0.028). ROC analysis revealed that sUA levels below 5.0 at T6 and 4.5 mg/dl at T12 had a prognostic accuracy for depression severity. Furthermore, delta sUA was significantly associated with delta BMI (β = 0.473; p = 0.012) and delta waist circumference (β = 0.531; p = 0.003). These findings support an improvement in depressive symptomatology in the first year postoperatively, however, without relation to BMI loss. Patients with moderate to severe depressive symptomatology presented with lower sUA levels over time. Therefore, sUA could be useful to predict moderate to severe depressive symptomatology in patients undergoing OAGB in clinical practice.
