A Population-Based Study of Early Postoperative Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundWeight loss following bariatric surgery can improve cardiac function among patients with heart failure (HF). However, perioperative morbidity of bariatric surgery has not been evaluated in patients with HF. STUDY
designThe National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database for 2006-2014 was queried to identify patients undergoing adjustable gastric band, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion-duodenal switch. Patients with HF were propensity matched to a control group without HF (1:5). Univariate analyses evaluated differences in complications, and multivariate analysis was completed to predict all-cause morbidity.
resultsThere were 237 patients identified with HF (mean age 52.8 years, 59.9% female, mean body mass index 50.6 kg/m
conclusionThe NSQIP definition of HF, which includes recent hospitalization for HF exacerbation or new HF diagnosis 30 days prior to surgery, predicts a more than two-fold increase in odds of morbidity following bariatric surgery. This must be balanced with the longer-term potential benefits of weight loss and associated improvement in cardiac function in this population.
