Perioperative continuous body weight measurements with load cells under the bed legs in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

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.
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
backgroundBoth excessive positive fluid balance and body weight increase after surgery are risk factors for poor postoperative outcomes. The use in clinical practice and the value of perioperative body weight measurements are unclear at present, possibly due to difficulty in measuring body weight in patients lying on the bed and insufficient clinical research.
objectivesTo investigate the relationship between intraoperative fluid balance and body weight change and perioperative nightly body weight change pattern throughout the hospital stay with contact-free unconstraint load cells placed under the bed legs.
designObservational and exploratory study.
settingA single university hospital. PATIENTS: Twenty adult patients were undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia.
main outcome measuresBody weight.
resultsImmediately after surgery, body weight increased significantly by 2.7 ± 1.3 kg, equivalent to a 5% increase from the preoperative body weight. This increase was not correlated with (
conclusionBoth perioperative fluid balance calculation and body weight measurement may have different but mutually complementary roles in perioperative managements. Postoperative fluid and nutrition management strategies are potentially new directions for treatment through continuous weight monitoring during the perioperative period.
