Does Bariatric Surgery Affect Intraocular Pressure?
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 9 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
purposeThe effect of body mass index (BMI) reduction following bariatric surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) is not well established. We evaluated association between BMI reduction and IOP measurements and other ocular and metabolic parameters 1 year after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study with over 1-year follow-up on patients who underwent weight reduction bariatric surgery between January 2016 and December 2016 at Wolfson Medical Center, Israel. Patient data was extracted from outpatient's bariatric and ocular clinic records. Metabolic, ocular, and clinical parameters were assessed including BMI changes, IOP, central corneal and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, optical coherence tomography, and biometry results.
resultsOf 22 bariatric surgery patients, 15 underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 7 laparoscopic mini gastric bypass (MGB). All were followed up for over 1 year after surgery. Average BMI decreased from 41.9 ± 7.3 to 25.5 ± 5.7 kg/m
conclusionBMI reduction achieved by bariatric surgery was associated with significant and continued decline in IOP beyond 1 year after surgery. Clinical implications highlight the importance of considering bariatric surgery in patients with ocular hypertension.
