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

purposeThe study aim was to assess the impact of clinically significant weight loss (CSWL; ≥5% weight reduction) on postoperative complications following abdominal wall reconstruction with the component separation technique (CST).

methodsA retrospective review of patients who underwent open ventral hernia repair (VHR) with CST from November 2008 to January 2022 was performed. Cohorts were stratified by presence of CSWL from baseline weight at preoperative consultation.

resultsOf 180 total patients, 40 (22.2%) achieved CSWL prior to VHR. Mean age was 59.6 ± 11.2 years. Patients in the CSWL cohort represented a higher average body mass index (BMI) (33.6 vs. 31.7 kg/m

conclusionAchievement of CSWL prior to open VHR utilizing CST results in similar post-reconstruction outcomes to patients who maintained a comparable BMI at baseline. Higher day-of-surgery BMI was more consequential to postoperative complications than percent weight loss.
