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

BACKGROUND AND

aimOne of the main causes of mortality among obese patients is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is an independent predictor for atherosclerosis and risk of CVD, and has been demonstrated to be related with obesity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of substantial weight loss after bariatric surgery on CIMT.

methodsThis prospective study was performed on patients with morbid obesity and standard indications for bariatric surgery in a tertiary referral center in Iran. The mean CIMT values were assessed using B-mode ultrasonography before and 6 months after bariatric surgery.

resultsA total of 32 patients (25 females, 7 males) with a mean age of 38.18 ± 1.18 years were enrolled. Body mass index (BMI) was significantly reduced from 43.66 ± 6.44 to 29.01 ± 2.56 kg/m

conclusionBariatric surgery results in significant reduction in CIMT, metabolic syndrome factors, and liver stiffness in patients with morbid obesity.
