Malignancy in bariatric surgery patients: a French multisite cohort.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBariatric surgery is associated with decreased cancer-related mortality. An indefinite proportion of patients that undergo bariatric surgery have a history of malignancy or will develop cancer. In these patients, weight loss and oncologic evolution needed to be assessed. The aim of this study was to report the results of patients diagnosed with malignancy before and after bariatric surgery in a French multisite cohort.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent bariatric surgery in six university centers. Patients were divided in two groups: patients with a preoperative history of malignancy and patients diagnosed with malignancy during the follow-up. Both groups were compared with control groups of patients that underwent surgery during the same period.
resultsFrom 2008 to 2018, 8927 patients underwent bariatric surgery. In patients with a history of malignancy (n = 90), breast and gynecologic cancers were predominant (37.8%). Median interval between malignancy and surgery was 60 (38-118) months. After a follow-up of 24 (4-52) months, 4 patients presented with cancer recurrence. Comparative analysis demonstrated equivalent weight loss one year after surgery. In patients with postoperative malignancy (n = 32), breast and gynecologic cancers were also predominant (40.6%). Median interval between surgery and malignancy was 22 (6-109) months. In the comparative analysis, weight loss was similar at 2 years.
conclusionsHistory of malignancy should not be considered as an absolute contraindication for bariatric surgery. Gynecological cancer screening should be reinforced before and after surgery. The development of malignancy postoperatively does not seem to affect mid-term bariatric outcomes.
