Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Female Reproductive Health and Maternal Outcomes.

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
introductionObesity has a derogatory effect on female reproductive health. Obesity contributes to difficulty in natural conception, increased risk of pregnancy-associated complications, miscarriages, congenital anomalies, and also the long-term negative impact on both mother and the child.
objectivesOur study aimed to analyze and assess the reproductive health-associated outcomes of females who underwent bariatric surgery.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis from a prospectively collected database from June 2013 to June2016. Out of 71 females studied, 45 patients (63.5%) had completed 3 years of follow-up. The data were collected from inpatient and outpatient records. Patients were studied under three groups (A, patients with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) symptoms; B, patients with primary infertility; and C, patients who conceived after bariatric surgery that were included in groups A and B).
resultsOut of 45 patients studied, 40 patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), four patients underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and one patient underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). The mean BMI of the patients was 43.64 ± 6.8 kg/m
conclusionObesity is closely associated with primary infertility and PCOD. Menstrual abnormalities associated with PCOD significantly improve after bariatric surgery with significant improvement in fertility along with maternal outcomes.
