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

purposeObesity is a risk factor for chronic venous disease (CVD) of the lower limbs (LL), affecting venous anatomy and physiology. Weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS) can reduce intra-abdominal pressure, improve mobility, and ultimately improve venous hemodynamics and CVD-related symptoms. There are no studies in the literature that adequately assess the effect of the obesity and BS on the LL veins, especially the saphenous veins (SV). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of obesity and BS on the saphenous veins.

methodsThis is a longitudinal prospective study carried out from 2019 to 2021 with 19 patients, totaling 38 LL, underwent clinical evaluation (CEAP Classification) and by Doppler ultrasonography, to analyze their SV diameter and reflux measurements, in the preoperative period and again 6 months to 2 years after BS being performed.

resultsThere was no statistical difference between the groups regarding the characteristics of reflux in the SV among the evaluated LL. There was no significant increase in the diameter of the great SV in the majority of its segments. The groups were similar in terms of the small SV diameters. Moreover, a significant reduction in the clinical class of CEAP was observed after BS.

conclusionObesity and bariatric surgery had no influence on diameter or reflux in saphenous veins, but a reduction in the CEAP Clinical Classification was observed in the postoperative period.
