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

objectiveThe aim of the study was to assess the long-term impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on lipid profile, uric acid level and metabolic syndrome.

methodsA prospective study was performed between 2009-2014, evaluating long-term percentage of excesso body mass index loss (%EBMIL), lipid profile, uric acid level and metabolic syndrome.

resultsOverall sixty subjects were followed-up. %EBMIL increased significantly, reaching a maximum (86,9 ± 6,3%) at 5 years post-LSG. Therapeutic success rate (%EBMIL ≥ 60%) was 80% at 5 years. The triglyceride level decreased significantly (148 ± 72.1 mg/dL baseline vs 130.7 ± 57.5 mg/dL at 1 month vs 110.7 ± 42.6 mg/dL at 3 months vs 92.5 ± 35.2 mg/dL at 1 year vs 84.2 ± 32.3 mg/dL at 5 years; p < 0.05 for all). HDL-cholesterol increased and uric acid decreased significantly in the first year postoperatively, remaining stable afterwards (46.9 ± 12.3 mg/dL baseline vs 47.4 ± 10 mg/dL at 1 month vs 49.8 ± 9.3 mg/dL at 3 months vs 55.4 ± 10.2 mg/dL at 1 year; p < 0.05 for all for HDL-cholesterol and 6.4 ± 2 mg/dL baseline vs 6 ± 1.7 mg/dL at 1 month vs 5.2 ± 1.3 mg/dL at 3 months vs 4.8 ± 1 mg/dL at 1 year; p < 0.05 for all for uric acid). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome decreased from 66.7% baseline to 8.3% at 5 years postoperatively (p < 0.01).

conclusionLSG was effective in terms of %EBMIL and metabolic traits improvement for Romanian patients.
