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

objectiveTo explore the incidence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) after bariatric surgery and the associated risk factors and specific manifestations of increased AUD risk, such as increased alcohol sensitivity and earlier symptom onset.

methodsThis review adhered to PRISMA guidelines. Data were sourced from PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Science.gov using search terms related to alcohol, bariatric surgery, and nutrition. Articles were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria were English language articles published from 2013-present, availability in full text or open access, and adult patients (≥18 years) who had bariatric surgery. Exclusion criteria were non-English articles, articles written before 2013, unavailable full text or open access, articles that featured pediatric patients or patients who did not use alcohol or had bariatric surgery, and abstracts or opinion pieces. A final total of 11 studies were found. DATA EXTRACTION: Studies published from 2013 to the present that involved adult bariatric surgery patients with a history of alcohol consumption.

resultsFindings suggest an elevated risk of AUD post-bariatric surgery, particularly following sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. There was strong evidence of increased alcohol sensitivity and AUD symptoms post-surgery, causing potential health effects.

conclusionsThese results underscore the importance of comprehensive preoperative assessments and tailored interventions for bariatric surgery patients with AUD.
