Ultrasonic value is not useful to detect bone changes following a biliopancreatic diversion.

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
To study the evolution of the bone mass by ultrasonic transmission after biliopancreatic diversion. Forty eight morbid obese patients were prospectively studied during 36 months following the Larrad biliopancreatic diversion. The bone metabolism was studied by PTHi and the urinary pirydinolines. The bone mass by echography and bone densitometry, which correlate to the levels of PTHi and pyridinolines. After 3 years the bone mass decreased from 50.15 +/- 7.31 kg/m(2), preoperatively, to 34.03 +/- 4.53 kg/m2 (p < 0.001). There was an increase of the PTHi value (from 71.4 +/- 79.6 to 91.65 +/- 43.06 pg/ml) (p = 0.01), and the urinary pirydinolines (from 7.93 +/- 4.06 an 11.4 +/- 10.12 nM/mM) (p < 0.05). The ultrasonic transmission speed increased (from 1,990.93 +/- 62.38 to 2,035.25 +/- 53.98 m/s). However, the bone mineral content (BMC) did not show changes (from 3,016.5 +/- 562.8 to 2,909.6 +/- 304.2 g), as well as the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) (of 1,174.2 +/- 98.8 g/cm2). Neither correlation was found between the BMD (r = 0.212; p = 0.6), the BMC (r =-0.125; p = 0.768), and the T-score (r = 0.592, p = 0.093). The study of the bone mass through ultrasonic transmission speed revealed low sensitivity during the assessment of the morbid obese patients. A percentage of cases of osteopenia were observed despite the fact that they are not reflected in the bone content or in the bone mass. Ultrasonic evaluation of bone mass has no value in the morbidly obese, by the clear negative correlation between ultrasound velocity and thickness of soft tissue.
