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

The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of Metabolic and Bariatric surgery (MBS) on patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and obesity. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. A total of 15 studies with 887 patients were included. Our results showed that MBS was associated with intracranial pressure (ICP) reduction with a mean difference of -15.79 mm/Hg (95% CI: -21.38, -10.31, I2 = 85.79%, P < 0.001). Furthermore, MBS was associated with significant resolution of headache, papilledema, and visual disturbances in patients with obesity and IIH. These findings indicate that MBS could improve IIH and decrease symptoms. These findings highlight the significant impact of weight loss achieved through MBS on patients with IIH.
