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

backgroundThe comparative efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been completely elucidated. To investigate this question, we conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

methodsThe protocol followed preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) checklist. Two review authors will independently search the PubMed, Embase (Ovid), and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. The primary outcome is T2DM remission. The secondary outcomes include BMI, HbA1c (%), and percentage excess weight loss (% EWL). Results from the network meta-analysis will be presented as summary relative effect sizes (WMD or RR) and relative 95% CIs for each possible pair of treatments. Outcomes will be combined based on different periods of follow-up (12 months, 36 months, and 60 months).

resultsThe results will provide useful information about the efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures in patients with T2DM.

conclusionThe findings of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202050053.
