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

backgroundObesity is a risk factor for heart failure. Surgical treatment of obesity may help prevent heart failure.

objectivesWe examine the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiac remodeling and function in adults with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction.

methodsThirty-eight individuals with severe obesity (body mass index ≥35 kg/m

resultsThe mean age of participants (75% female) was 48.5 ± 8.3 years and body mass index 46.4 ± 3.7 kg/m

conclusionsBariatric surgery may be an effective and safe way to prevent and/or reverse obesity-related cardiac abnormalities. Larger prospective studies are warranted to confirm these observations and determine their long-term clinical implications.
