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

purposeDifferences between complication rates of bariatric surgeries performed by general surgeons (GS) versus those performed by metabolic and bariatric surgeons (MBS) are poorly understood.

methodsWe analyzed the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database focusing on RYGB and SG procedures between 2016 and 2019. Our primary objective was to evaluate trends in the number of bariatric procedures performed by GS and MBS. Secondary objectives were assessing for differences in 30-day mortality and the incidence of serious complications. Differences between groups were evaluated by chi-squared analysis for categorical data and ANOVA tests for continuous data. A multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the influence of subspecialized training on the incidence of serious complications and 30 day mortality.

resultsA total of 622,079 patients were analyzed, 15,485 were operated on by GS (2.5%, mean age 44.7 years, mean BMI 45.2 kg/m

conclusionThe majority of bariatric procedures are being completed by MBS with the proportion completed by GS decreasing. We found no difference in the number of serious complications and 30-day mortality rates across the MBS and GS groups. Graphical abstract.
