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

purposeSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective treatment for extreme obesity; however, long-term weight loss outcomes remain largely understudied. We aimed to examine the long-term weight changes following SG and patient characteristics and lifestyle patterns related to weight loss outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsData from medical records of patients operated in a tertiary university medical center between 2008 and 2014 were reviewed, along with information derived from a telephone questionnaire. Information included the following: current medical status, medications, side effects, behavior, lifestyle habits, and weight changes.

resultsA total of 212 patients (69.3% females) were included, with a median follow-up duration of 8 years post-SG. Mean age and baseline body mass index (BMI) of participants were 39.7 ± 12.0 years and 42.2 ± 4.9 kg/m

conclusionsSG patients were found to maintain a notable long-term weight loss. Nevertheless, weight regain and insufficient weight loss were prevalent in the long-term post-operative period, and were related to certain lifestyle patterns. Clinical practice should emphasize the relationship between post-operative weight loss outcomes and specific behaviors. Efforts should be made to educate patients on the need for lifelong follow-up and support.
