Improvement of the 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk 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 2 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
backgroundSeveral studies have shown improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as in the related mortality following bariatric surgery. However, few studies have assessed changes in the estimated cardiovascular risk.
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on the estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis from a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent a primary bariatric procedure from 2004 to 2018. The 10-year ASCVD risk was estimated before and after 1 year of surgery using the ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus of the American College of Cardiology. Changes in the ASCVD risk were evaluated.
resultsThere were 58 (51.3%) women and 55 (48.7%) men with a mean age of 49.9 years. Before surgery, 64 patients had arterial hypertension, 57 T2DM, and 49 were smokers. Baseline mean estimated 10-year ASCVD risk was 8.50 ± 7.92%. Fifty-one (45.1%), 10 (8.8%), 41 (36.3%), and 11 (9.7%) patients were classified as low, borderline, intermediate, and high risk, respectively. One year after surgery, 92.9% of the patients showed a reduction of the estimated 10-year ASCVD risk. Mean values were significantly lower (5.31 ± 5.95%) when compared to basal ones (p < 0.0001). According to the risk classification, 71 (62.8%), 13 (11.5%), 26 (23%), and 3 (2.7%) were cataloged as low, borderline, intermediate, and high risk, respectively.
conclusionsSurgically induced weight loss leads to a significant improvement in the estimated 10-year ASCVD risk, 1 year after surgery.
