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

backgroundBariatric surgery is one of the effective therapeutic options for people with obesity and obesity-related co-morbidities. In addition to weight-related co-morbid diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in patients with morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery is one of the therapeutic options in the management of NAFLD. Hence, this review focused on the potential role of bariatric surgery on hepatic elasticity measured through shear wave elastography.

methodsA systematic literature search was performed, and the studies regarding heterogeneity were evaluated using the random-effects model.

resultsThe meta-analysis on 6 trials (3-12 months follow-up) including 350 participants showed a significant reduction of liver elasticity after surgery (WMD: -1.149, 95% CI: -1.767, -0.532, p < 0.001; I2:81.55%).

conclusionBariatric surgery is associated with decreased liver elasticity. This improvement could be related to weight loss or other mechanisms of bariatric surgery.
