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.

Abstract

purposeSleeve gastrectomy (SG), the most commonly performed weight loss surgery in adolescents and young adults with moderate to severe obesity, is highly effective for weight loss. Current literature regarding depressive and anxiety symptomatology following SG in youth is sparse and conflicting. We evaluated changes in depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents and young adults with moderate to severe obesity 2 years following SG compared with non-surgical controls (NS) followed for a similar duration. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty-six youth 13-25 years old with moderate-severe obesity (33 female) were followed for 2 years; 21 underwent SG, and 25 were NS. Subjects underwent anthropometric measurements and completed self-report questionnaires. Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was used to assess depressive symptoms and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-X2 for anxiety symptoms.

resultsGroups did not differ for age (18.4 ± 0.4 vs. 17.8 ± 0.5 years, p = 0.456). The SG group had a higher mean BMI vs. NS (47.5 (42.1, 52.4) vs. 41.6 (37.8, 46.5) kg/m

conclusionNo change was found in depressive and anxiety symptomatology following surgery despite marked weight reduction over a 2-year period, underscoring the need to better evaluate psychopathology in youth undergoing SG to develop supportive therapeutic strategies. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT02557438 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02557438?id=NCT02557438&draw=2&rank=1 ; The study was registered on 23 September 2015.
