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

Childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk for obesity, which can potentiate treatment-related late effects. The association between bariatric surgery and cardiometabolic outcomes in survivors is unknown. Survivors of childhood cancer enrolled in the St Jude Lifetime Cohort with prior bariatric surgery for obesity (n = 33) and survivors with severe obesity without prior bariatric surgery (n = 542) were included. Body mass index (BMI) change was described. Multivariable logistic regression compared prevalence of cardiometabolic outcomes at follow-up. Mean change in BMI was -11.8 (SD 8.7) kg/m2 and +0.7 (SD 4.2) kg/m2 among survivors with and without bariatric surgery, after median follow-up of 6.1 and 5.3 years, respectively. Survivors with bariatric surgery (compared with those without) had lower odds of dyslipidemia (odds ratio [OR] = 0.3, 95% CI = 0.1 to 0.8) and prediabetes (OR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2 to 0.8). Bariatric surgery is associated with sustained BMI reduction and lower risk for cardiometabolic conditions in survivors of childhood cancer.
