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 global prevalence of obesity and diabetes continues to rise, with metabolic-bariatric surgery recognised as an effective intervention for obesity and type 2 diabetes, offering potential for type 2 diabetes remission and improved glycaemic control. This guideline, developed by the Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS-IP), provides recommendations for the management of diabetes in individuals undergoing metabolic-bariatric surgery. It emphasises the importance of multidisciplinary care and individualised treatment plans to optimise outcomes. Key recommendations include pre-operative glycaemic optimisation, targeting HbA1c <69 mmol/mol (<8.5%) where safe to do so, prevention of hypoglycaemia throughout all phases of care and providing a framework for medication adjustments during the liver reduction diet (LRD), peri-operative and post-operative phases. For type 2 diabetes, oral and non-insulin therapies such as metformin, DPP4 inhibitors and GLP-1 based therapies may be continued during LRD, while sulfonylureas, meglitinides and SGLT2 inhibitors should be discontinued to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia. For those with type 2 diabetes on insulin, doses should be reduced by 35%-50% during LRD and adjusted post-operatively based on individual glycaemic control. To prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in those with type 1 diabetes, insulin must never be stopped and careful planning with diabetes teams is essential. Post-operatively, regular glucose monitoring, hypoglycaemia surveillance, medication adjustments, and follow-up with diabetes specialists are recommended. This document serves as a guide for clinicians and service commissioners, aiming to improve inpatient diabetes care and outcomes for individuals undergoing metabolic-bariatric surgery.
