Effect of bariatric surgery on flow-mediated dilation and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with morbid obesity: 1-year follow-up study.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveObesity is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. Bariatric surgery (BS) is currently an established therapeutic approach for severely obese patients. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) provide important prognostic information beyond traditional CV risk factors. This study aimed to examine the effect of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on CIMT and brachial artery FMD in morbidly obese patients.
methodsA total of 23 morbidly obese patients (40.4±5.6 years, 13 females) were examined before and after BS for 1 year with 3-month periods. CIMT, FMD, body composition, and metabolic parameters were determined.
resultsAll the patients exhibited significant weight loss following BS (p<0.001). Carotid intima-media thickness reduction was not significant from baseline to 6 months (p=0.069), but at 9 months (p=0.004), it became significant. Similarly, the difference between the preoperative and 6-month FMD assessments was not significant (p=0.057), but at 9 months (p<0.001), it became significant.
conclusionOur study reveals that weight loss following BS causes improvements in CV risk factors, which is evident after 9 months of surgery.
