Beneficial Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Cardiac Structure and Function in Obesity.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is being considered as a therapeutic option for morbidly obese patients. Data are accumulating showing that this surgical intervention may improve in major cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the effects of bariatric surgery on left ventricular (LV) structure and function including LV mechanics in obese patients.
methodsThirty-seven patients (age = 36 ± 10 years; male:female = 11:26) undergoing bariatric surgery were enrolled. Echocardiography was performed before and after at least 1 year of bariatric surgery. Conventional echocardiographic parameters, including tissue Doppler measurements, were measured. LV global longitudinal, circumferential, and radial deformations were assessed utilizing 2D speckle tracking software.
resultsPatients decreased body mass index by 11.8 ± 4.7 over 15.6 ± 5.5 months. Bariatric surgery led to significant decreases in left ventricular (LV) size and mass (51.0 ± 3.3 to 49.1 ± 3.4 mm, p < 0.001 for LV end-diastolic dimension; 192.6 ± 33.5 to 146.2 ± 29.1 g, p < 0.001 for LV mass), and increases were noted in the ratio of early-to-late diastolic mitral inflow (E/A), early diastolic tissue Doppler velocity (Em), and LV longitudinal strain (1.42 ± 0.52 to 1.59 ± 0.56, p = 0.04 for E/A ratio; 9.7 ± 2.0 to 11.0 ± 2.4 cm/s, p < 0.001 for Em; 14.1 ± 1.9 to 16.2 ± 1.4 %, p < 0.001 for longitudinal strain). Changes of LV longitudinal strain were related to LV mass reduction (p = 0.04). However, LV ejection fraction, LV circumferential, and radial strains were all comparable at follow-up.
conclusionSignificant weight loss by bariatric surgery was associated with improved LV structure and function in obese patients, suggesting potential favorable effects of bariatric surgery to prevent future cardiovascular events.
