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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the effects of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on the corneal and anterior segment parameters of the eye. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, the anterior chamber depth, volume, angle and central corneal thickness of obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery were prospectively examined using Pentacam topography before and six months after surgery.

resultsA total of 112 eyes of 56 individuals, including 26 males with a mean age of 38.88 ± 7.00 years and 30 females with a mean age of 40.94 ± 7.76 years, were evaluated (p = 0.310). Six months following MBS, the average body mass index (BMI) in men decreased from 45.5 kg/m

conclusionThis study revealed that anterior segment values, intraocular pressure, and corneal thickness may change after MBS. Caution should be exercised when evaluating for cataracts and refractive surgery after MBS.
