Sex and Race Predict Adverse Outcomes Following Bariatric Surgery: an MBSAQIP Analysis.
Article in Obesity surgery, 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
backgroundWhile bariatric surgery is safe, rates of postoperative complications continue to vary considerably across specific patient populations.
methodsWe identified all Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program data registry (MBSAQIP) patients who underwent primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) from 2015 to 2017. Categorical variables were expressed as percentages and continuous variables as weighted mean ± standard deviation (SD). Univariate analysis was performed using chi-squared tests for categorical data and independent sample t test for continuous data. Non-parsimonious multivariable logistic regression models were developed to determine predictive factors for mortality and major complications.
resultsA total of 430,936 patients were identified using the MBSAQIP database from 2015 to 2017 (Table 1). The majority of patients were female (79.3%), white (73.1%), and underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (72.8%). The second most common identified race was African-American (17.6%) followed by other (9.3%). The mean age of our population was 43.9 ± 11.0 years with a mean body mass index of 46.6 ± 8.5 kg/m
conclusionRace and sex are independent predictors of adverse outcomes following bariatric surgery in a multivariate logistic regression analysis of the MBSAQIP database. The influence of these factors requires further study in order to continue optimizing bariatric surgery outcomes.
