Long-term effects of bariatric surgery in patients with obesity and chromosome 16 p11.2 microdeletion.
Trial report in Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundChromosome 16 p11.2 microdeletion is associated with early-onset obesity. Information is limited about the effect of bariatric surgery in patients with genetic obesity.
objectiveTo examine the effects of bariatric surgery in obese patients with chromosome 16 p11.2 microdeletion.
settingAcademic research institution.
methodsThe Swedish Obese Subjects study is a prospective study with 2010 participants receiving bariatric surgery. DNA was available for 1843 participants. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was used to identify 16 p11.2 microdeletion carriers. Follow-up time was 10 years. In carriers and noncarriers, follow-up rate was 86% and 82%, respectively, at 10 years.
resultsNine carriers of the chromosome 16 p11.2 microdeletion (9/1843, .49%) were found. At baseline, most risk factors were similar; however, carriers had higher body mass index (BMI), insulin levels, and systolic blood pressure compared to noncarriers. At the 1-year examination, the percent excess BMI lost (%EBMIL) in carriers and noncarriers was 71.9 and 62.2, respectively; P = .031 (37.9 and 30.6 kg). This was followed by partial weight regain in both groups, and after 10 years %EBMIL was 25.5 and 41.5 (15.7 and 21.3 kg), respectively (P = .377). Changes in risk factors were similar in the carriers and noncarriers. Two carriers who had type 2 diabetes at baseline were both in remission at 2-year follow-up but relapsed at 10-year follow-up. Perceived health status was similar in carriers and noncarriers during follow-up (overall P = .198).
conclusionsDespite a small sample size, our results indicate that bariatric surgery is a treatment option for obese patients with chromosome 16 p11.2 microdeletion.
