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

purposeNot all patients who underwent bariatric surgery keep their regular medical follow-up. We screened alcohol use, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in post-bariatric patients who have lost medical follow-up at their first appointment in our healthcare unit. These screened disorders were compared between low vs. high ratios of weight regain (RWR) and correlated with surgical outcomes. MATERIAL AND

methodsNinety-four post-bariatric patients without medical follow-up (87.2% female, aged 42 ± 9 years, BMI = 32.9 ± 6.5kg/m

resultsNeck and waist circumferences, diastolic blood pressure, and time since surgery were higher in the high than low RWR group (P≤ 0.05). No differences between groups for alcohol use and depressive symptoms were detected (P≥ 0.07), but those who regained more weight exhibited poorer health scores in physical functioning, physical role limitations, bodily pain, and vitality (P≤ 0.05). In the low RWR group, the RWR was inversely correlated to physical/social functioning and vitality. Positive associations were present between RWR vs. depressive symptoms, while negative ones were noted to physical functioning and general health perception in the high RWR group.

conclusionsHRQoL has deteriorated in those post-bariatric patients without medical follow-up who regained more weight, possibly indicating the need for regular long-term health care.
