Cardiovascular Benefits and Lipid Profile Changes 5 Years After Bariatric Surgery: A Comparative Study Between Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
introductionVisceral adipose tissue has been linked with cardiovascular events. Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a routinely applicable tool for evaluation of visceral adipose dysfunction and linked to 10 year-cardiovascular risk. No previous studies have evaluated the changes over time of the VAI in patients who underwent different types of bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed data of 42 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 61 patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). VAI, lipid profile, and several anthropometric variables were measured before and after 5 years following surgery.
resultsDuring the studied time period, the BMI was similar between LSG and LRYGB patients (34.1 vs 31.6; p = 0.191), but the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) for LRYGB was significantly higher than LSG (31.3% vs 23.0%; p < 0.001). LRYGB patients had a significant improvement of all lipid parameters evaluated over time, while LSG patients experienced only a reduction in triglycerides (TG) levels and an increase in HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). VAI values were similar in the two groups at baseline as well at the last follow-up point (5-year VAI, LSG: 0.93, RYGB: 0.93; p = 0.951). At multivariate regression analysis, 5-year-%TWL was the only independent predictor of a greater amount of VAI reduction over time.
conclusionBariatric surgery, independent of the type of surgical procedure, decreases the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks due to weight loss and improvement of lipid parameters. VAI could be a useful tool to better identify eligible patients for bariatric surgery and to determine the success of surgery.
