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

backgroundPatients who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) have significant weight loss, and abdominoplasty is an effective corrective surgery for removing excess skin. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the weight of removed tissue on the development of postoperative complications in patients undergoing abdominoplasty without lipoaspiration after gastric bypass at the Federal District North Wing Regional Hospital, Brasília, Brazil.

methodsData were analyzed from a prospective registry of patients who underwent abdominoplasty without lipoaspiration after gastric bypass from January 2011 to December 2018. The variables examined included body mass index (BMI) before RYGB and before plastic surgery, weight loss, weight of the excised abdominal flap, comorbidities, and medical complications. Analysis of the role of the weight of the removed tissue after abdominoplasty was performed to assess outcome measures.

resultsOne hundred sixty-three patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 42 years. Their BMI at the time of abdominoplasty was 27.49 kg/m

conclusionsRemoval of ≥ 2000 g of tissue from the abdomen led to significantly more complications in patients who underwent abdominoplasty after gastric bypass. In addition, this group of patients was significantly associated with the presence of higher anthropometric variable values (BMI, weight loss, max BMI, and ∆BMI) and not associated with the presence of comorbidities.
