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

Background: Obesity is a complex condition associated with prothrombotic fibrin networks that are resistant to fibrinolysis. Altered fibrin clot properties enhance cardiovascular risk and associate with a poorer prognosis following acute ischemic events. Bariatric surgery is commonly employed to improve cardiometabolic outcomes in individuals with obesity. However, the effects of this surgical intervention on fibrin clot properties have not been comprehensively studied. Objectives: To examine fibrin clot and lysis parameters in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients before and after surgery. Methods: The fibrin clot properties of 32 individuals living with obesity before and 9 months after RYGB surgery were determined using turbidimetric analysis. Correlation and regression analyses were used to identify relationships between clot properties and anthropomorphic and clinical measures. Results: RYGB surgery resulted in a significant reduction in adiposity-associated anthropometric measures as well as improvements in glycemia and lipid profile. Clot maximum absorbance was reduced from 0.43 ± 0.11 at baseline to 0.29 ± 0.10 at 9 months postsurgery ( Conclusion: RYGB surgery led to a decrease in the maximum absorbance of the fibrin clot. Values of maximum absorbance were associated with measures of glycemic control and inflammation. In contrast to previous reports, fibrin clot lysis time was not affected after surgery.
