Anthropometrics by Three-Dimensional Photonic Scanner in Patients with Obesity Before and After Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundWe studied body composition by three-dimensional photonic scanning (3DPS) and metabolic biomarkers in a large ethnically diverse cohort of individuals with severe obesity before and after weight loss by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or adjustable gastric banding (AGB) surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsMale and female participants (n = 95) underwent 3DPS testing in the weeks preceding bariatric surgery (baseline), and 1 year after either RYGB (n = 34) or AGB (n = 9).
resultsPrincipal component analysis showed that A1C and HDL cholesterol clustered with waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Both RYGB and AGB surgeries led to similar improvements in A1C and lipids after 1 year. RYGB led to greater decreases in body weight, and in most anthropometric measures, compared with AGB at 1 year. However, after accounting for weight loss differences, RYGB and AGB groups did not differ in regional decreases in circumferences or volumes; the exception was a greater reduction in lean mass in RYGB compared with AGB.
conclusionDistribution of weight loss, assessed by 3DPS, did not differ between RYGB and AGB, but surgery type predicted change in lean mass at 1 year.
