Conversion from Prediabetes to Diabetes in Individuals with Obesity, 5-Years Post-Band, Sleeve, and Gastric Bypass Surgeries.
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 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
backgroundIdentifying risk factors for conversion to diabetes among individuals with obesity and prediabetes is important for preventing diabetes. PURPOSE: We assessed conversion rates to diabetes 5 years after three types of metabolic surgery and examined predictors of diabetes development.
methodsWe accessed data of individuals with prediabetes, defined as fasting glucose (FG) 100-125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/L) or HbA1c 5.7-6.4% at baseline (preoperatively), who underwent metabolic surgeries in Clalit Health Services during 2002-2011.
resultsOf 1,756 individuals with prediabetes, 819 underwent gastric banding (GB), 845 sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and 92 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Mean age was 41.6 years and 73.5% were women. Five years post-surgery, 177 (10.1%) had developed diabetes. Conversion rates by type of surgery were 14.4%, 6.3%, and 6.5% for GB, SG, and RYGB, respectively (p < 0.001). Conversion was more rapid following GB than SG or RYGB (χ
conclusionsOur findings emphasize the importance of preoperative glycemic control and weight loss during the first year postoperatively, for the long-term prevention of diabetes in patients with prediabetes undergoing metabolic surgery.
