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

backgroundThe aim of the study was to characterize the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in elective bariatric surgery patients and to determine if OSA is an independent predictor of 30-day serious complications and 30-day mortality among bariatric surgery patients.

methodsAn analysis of the MBSAQIP database from 2015 to 2019 was conducted, and patients were stratified by OSA diagnosis. Data was extracted on patient age, sex, race, and comorbidities. A multivariate logistic regression model was created to evaluate the impact of OSA on 30-day serious complications and 30-day mortality.

resultsOf 751,952 patients, 287,180 (38.2%) were identified as having OSA. OSA patients were older (48.0 ± 11.4 vs. 42.2 ± 11.9 years; p < 0.0001) and were of increased BMI (46.5 ± 8.5 kg/m

conclusionWe identified OSA as a modifiable factor predictive of serious complications following elective bariatric surgery. OSA is highly prevalent in this patient population, and it appears to be an important risk factor that deserves further attention in terms of peri-operative optimization strategies.
