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

Objectives: This study aims at exploring the knowledge of women of reproductive age who underwent bariatric surgery in Jordan regarding its effect on birth outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 183 women (aged 15-49) who had undergone bariatric surgery at the Jordan University Hospital in Amman, Jordan, between 2016 and 2019, using telephone interviews with conveniently selected participants' samples. The survey tool obtained data on women's knowledge and other sociodemographic, obstetric health, and bariatric surgery information. Unfavorable birth outcomes include preterm delivery, small for gestational age, congenital abnormalities, low birth weight, and admission to the neonatal critical care unit. Results: More than half of the participants did not know about the possible unfavorable birth outcomes after bariatric surgery and related practice guidelines. This is shown in their median score of 3 (interquartile range: 2-4) out of a maximum possible score of 8. Women who had a good score (>4) had received counseling about unfavorable bariatric surgery outcomes from their surgeon ( Conclusion: The extent of knowledge regarding the unfavorable birth outcome of bariatric surgery is low among women who underwent bariatric surgery at Jordan University Hospital in Jordan. Improving health literacy and information on bariatric surgery implications on pregnancy and birth outcomes amongst women of reproductive age is a recommendation from this study.
