Postoperative changes in body composition--comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis and magnetic resonance imaging in bariatric patients.
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) result in a marked reduction of body fat and also visceral fat (VF) decrease up to 36 % in 16 weeks. This leads to positive effects on cardiometabolic risks, which are known to be correlated with the occurrence of VF. This study analyzed the validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for determining VF in the postoperative course. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed for prediction of whole VF in bariatric patients on the basis of a single slice.
methodsEighteen patients, who underwent RYGB (18), were included in this study. MRI and BIA measurements were performed 1 day before surgery, as well as 6, 12, and 24 weeks after surgery.
resultsDuring the postoperative observation period, we found a significant decrease of both subcutaneous fat (SF) and VF. SF measured by MRI was highly correlated with the level of body fat shown by BIA. In contrast, the VF volume, as determined by MRI, showed no correlation with the body fat measured by BIA. In addition, we were able to show a significant correlation between MRI measured VF volume and the particular single-layer fat area.
conclusionsCompared to the widely used bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure changes in body composition after bariatric procedures, a single-layer MRI was superior in determining VF. Single-layer MRI may be a better tool to recognize changes of VF after bariatric procedures.
