Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery Predicts an Improvement in the Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Fibrosis Score.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in up to 90% of bariatric surgery patients. Previous literature has demonstrated an improvement in liver steatosis and fibrosis in post-bariatric surgery patients. Our study aims to investigate if bariatric surgery results in an improvement in NAFLD fibrosis scores, and if this correlates with weight loss.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on all patients who underwent bariatric surgery from 2010 to 2016 in our institution. Patients who had a redo bariatric surgery or concomitant gastric pathologies were excluded. Indications for bariatric surgery followed the Asia-Pacific Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Society guidelines.
resultsThere were 192 patients in this study, with the majority being females (n = 120, 63%). Mean age was 42.7 ± 10.2 years old. Pre-operative mean weight and body mass index (BMI) were 113 ± 27.9 kg and 41.6 ± 7.98 kg/m
conclusionBariatric surgery results in weight reduction as well as an improvement in the NAFLD fibrosis score. The degree of weight loss predicts the extent of improvement in NAFLD fibrosis scores. More long-term studies need to be conducted to assess if this effect is permanent.
