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

purposeThis study aims to assess the long-term renal effects of bariatric surgery (BS) in severely obese patients over a follow-up period of up to 11 years. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn a retrospective cohort study including 102 patients, patients were stratified by eGFR at baseline and divided into three groups: (1) reduced, (2) normal, and (3) increased filtration rate. Adjustments for age- and sex-related decline in eGFR were performed. We used uni- and multivariate regression analysis to identify variables that were thought to determine change in eGFR.

resultsOver a median follow-up of 8.5 years (interquartile range 2.7), eGFR declined from 96.1 ± 20.7 to 84.9 ± 21.0 ml/min (p < 0.001). Among patients with (1), eGFR remained stable (69.1 ± 19.3 ml/min). Among patients with (2), eGFR declined from 99.7 ± 13.3 ml/min to 88.7 ± 19.4 ml/min (p < 0.001). Among patients with (3), eGFR decreased to normal levels (94.2 ± 17.7 ml/min, p < 0.001). Age- and sex-adjusted eGFR increased (6.4 ± 14.4 ml/min; p < 0.05) among patients with reduced filtration rate. Among patients with normal filtration rate, adjusted eGFR remained stable during follow-up (-1.3 ± 15.2 ml/min; n.s.). Among patients with increased filtration rate, adjusted eGFR decreased and remained within the normal range (-13.2 ± 12.2 ml/min; p < 0.001). Change in eGFR showed a negative correlation with eGFR at baseline (B = -0.31; p < 0.001), change in LDL-cholesterol (B = -0.09; p < 0.05), and a negative correlation with treatment requiring hypertension (B = -9.36; p = 0.001).

conclusionBS is protective against renal function decline in severely obese patients in the long term.
