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

purposeCardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients with obesity. Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), in which people do not have metabolic disorders, is a transient state of obesity. However, over the long term, a proportion of individuals with MHO develop metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to investigate the effect of substantial weight loss following bariatric surgery in MHO on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and pulse-wave velocity (PWV), which are independent predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis.

methodsThis prospective study included 38 patients (34 women, four men) undergoing bariatric surgery who had severe obesity but without comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia), and 28 control individuals who were matched for age and sex. CIMT and PWV of the left common carotid artery were measured. At 12-month follow-up after bariatric surgery, measurements were repeated in the 38 patients with obesity.

resultsMean baseline body mass index (BMI) in the MHO group was 40.55 ± 3.59 kg/m

conclusionCarotid artery structure and function were impaired in MHO, and improved carotid artery structure was associated with weight loss in MHO after bariatric surgery.
