Pre-operative Obesity-Associated Hyperandrogenemia in Women and Hypogonadism in Men Have No Impact on Weight Loss Following Bariatric Surgery.
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 6 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
backgroundIn severe obesity, hypogonadism in men and androgen excess in women are frequently observed. Sex hormones play an important role in body composition and glucose and lipid metabolism. However, whether pre-operative gonadal dysfunction impacts weight loss after bariatric surgery is not fully known.
methodsA total of 49 men and 104 women were included in a retrospective analysis. Anthropometric characteristics, glucose and lipid metabolism, and androgen concentrations were assessed pre-operatively and 17.9 ± 11 or 19.3 ± 12 months post-operatively in men and women. Men with (HYPO
resultsIn men, pre-operative hypogonadism was present in 55% and linked to a higher body mass index (BMI): HYPO
conclusionsBesides being frequently observed, hypogonadism in men and androgen excess in women have no impact on post-surgical improvements in body weight and glucose and lipid metabolism. Weight loss resulted in reversal of hypogonadism in almost all men and of hyperandrogenemia in the majority of women.
