Review in Obesity surgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02893891 (Metabolic Changes of Fat and Bone Tissue After Radical Bariatric Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 70 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Body fat and lean mass are correlated with bone mineral density, with obesity apparently exerting protection against osteoporosis. The pathophysiological relevance of adipose tissue in bone integrity resides in the participation of adipokines in bone remodeling through effects on deposition and resorption. On the other hand, the skeleton has recently emerged as an endocrine organ with effects on body weight control and glucose homeostasis through the actions of bone-derived factors such as osteocalcin and osteopontin. The cross-talk between adipose tissue and the skeleton constitutes a homeostatic feedback system with adipokines and molecules secreted by osteoblasts and osteoclasts representing the links of an active bone-adipose axis. Given the impact of bariatric surgery on absorption and the adipokine secretory pattern, to focus on the changes taking place following surgical-induced weight loss on this dynamic system merits detailed consideration.
