Effects of Bariatric Surgery in Male Obesity-Associated Hypogonadism.
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 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
introductionThe prevalence of obesity has grown exponentially over the last several decades. Research has linked male obesity to changes in the gonadal axis, which can induce functional hypogonadism. Bariatric surgery provides sustained weight loss and metabolic improvement. This was a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the male gonadal axis and metabolic profiles of obese individuals during the bariatric pre- and post-operative periods while comparing them to a normal body mass index (BMI) group.
methodsTwenty-nine obese men, who underwent bariatric surgery between 2012 and 2016 at the Federal University of Santa Catarina Hospital and a control group (CG) of 29 age-matched men with normal BMI, were analyzed. Bariatric pre- and 6-month post-operative data were compared with the CG.
resultsThe study group (G1) presented an average age, weight, and BMI of 42.8 ± 9.5 years, 155.2 ± 25.8 kg, and 50.6 ± 7.1 kg/m
conclusionFunctional hypogonadism is prevalent in obese men, and we must be aware of this diagnosis. Although studies defining the best diagnostic parameters and indication of adequate hormone replacement therapy are lacking, an increase in TT levels during the first 6 months after bariatric surgery was identified in our study. Previous studies have shown that gonadal function can normalize after metabolic improvement.
