Additional effect of visceral fat resection in an obese rat model of gastric banding.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is accumulating agreement that bariatric surgery is currently the most efficacious and enduring treatment for clinically severe obesity, and as a result, the number of bariatric surgeries performed worldwide has increased in recent years. Although the function of visceral fat has gradually become clear, the effect of visceral fat resection is still unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the additional effect of visceral fat resection in an obese rat model of gastric banding.
methodsForty male Zucker fatty rats were divided into four groups: the control group, visceral fat resection group, gastric banding group, and gastric banding with visceral fat resection group. They were followed for 8 weeks after surgery, and their body weight change, cumulative food intake, metabolic parameters, and adipocytokines were measured.
resultsThe gastric banding rats either with or without visceral fat resection showed significant decreases in weight gain, cumulative food intake, and levels of metabolic parameters compared to the control rats. There were no significant differences in weight gain and cumulative food intake between gastric banding with and without visceral fat resection. However, gastric banding with visceral fat resection resulted in lower plasma levels of free fatty acid and TNF-alpha compared to gastric banding alone, and expression of adiponectin mRNA in the adipose tissue was significantly decreased with the addition of visceral fat resection compared with banding alone. There were no significant differences in any parameters between controls and rats receiving visceral fat resection alone.
conclusionVisceral fat resection may improve adipocytokines and free fatty acid in an obese rat model of gastric banding. However, further studies are necessary before the procedure can be considered an option on bariatric surgery.
