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

backgoundThe effects of bariatric surgery on kidney function remain controversial. This study aims to assess changes in kidney function, with a specific focus on structural biomarkers, in individuals with obesity but without evident kidney disease following bariatric surgery.

methodsFifty-two patients with obesity and an estimated glomerular filtration rate from creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcr-cyc) of at least 90 mL/min/1.73 m

resultseGFRcr-cyc decreased one month postoperatively (117.4 [103.2,133.2] to 105.8 [97.0,122.7] mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionAlthough the kidney functional biomarker, eGFRcr-cyc, did not change, structural injury biomarkers, including KIM-1 and NGAL, increased one year post-SG. These findings underscore the importance of weight management and highlight the necessity for continued, long-term monitoring of kidney function in this patient population to mitigate potential subclinical kidney injury.
