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

backgroundOne-third of major anesthesia-related airway complications occur during or shortly after tracheal extubation. Obesity significantly impacts respiratory function and is a key contributor to morbidity and mortality. Patients with morbid obesity often require bariatric surgery. However, extubation-related complications in this specific surgical population have not been previously studied. This study aimed to determine the rate and frequency of complications during tracheal extubation in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and the associated risk factors for these complications. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients above 18 years of age with a body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m

resultsData from 1193 patients were analyzed. The overall complication rate was 4.4%, with the most frequent complication being desaturation, which occurred in 3.2% of patients. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of extubation-related complications increased twofold for obese patients with body mass index 50-59 kg/m

conclusionThis study identified desaturation as the most common complication post-extubation of morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Moreover, we found that the odds of extubation-related complications increased with increasing obesity classes, particularly in patients with body mass index 50-59 kg/m
