Peri-operative outcomes of bariatric surgery in obstructive sleep apnoea: a single-centre cohort study.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasing worldwide. Bariatric surgery is an option where conventional measures to achieve weight loss fail. We compared peri-operative outcomes in patients living with obesity with and without OSA undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing bariatric surgery at a tertiary referral centre. Data were extracted from electronic patient records. Primary outcomes were the rate of peri-operative complications and level of respiratory support. Secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), and the highest level of care required. Results: A total of 302 patients underwent surgery [age 47 (±11.6) years, 238 (78.8%) female, body mass index (BMI) 48.1 (±7.8) kg/m Conclusions: The rate of peri-operative complications in patients with OSA undergoing bariatric surgery is low and can be addressed by the provision of CPAP therapy in most cases. However, a longer LOS and more frequent Grade I complications requires selection of appropriate post-operative monitoring.
