Alterations in the Serum Urate Concentrations after Bariatric Surgery: a Short-Term Prospective Observational Study.
Observational study in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is associated with a reduced incidence of hyperuricaemia during the long follow-up time. However, few studies have elucidated the alterations in serum urate (SU) levels in the short-term post-surgery period. PURPOSE: To identify the alterations in SU concentrations in individuals with obesity at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after bariatric surgery and determine the risk factors for alterations during the first 3 post-surgery months.
methodsThirty-four patients were enrolled. Pre- and post-operative variables were collected at baseline and at each follow-up point. A paired t-test was applied to investigate the relationship between the major parameters. A linear mixed model was performed to analyse the variations of SU concentrations with time.
resultsCompared with baseline levels, SU levels significantly increased at 1 week, then declined significantly at 1 month after surgery (P < 0.05). At the 3-month follow-up, a significant decrease in SU levels was detected compared with that in baseline levels (P < 0.001). In univariate regression analysis, age, sex, weight, body mass index, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), creatinine (Cr), and medications were all risk factors for alterations in SU concentrations post-surgery. In the final model, sex, weight, Cr, age, TC, Cr * age, and Cr * TC were established.
conclusionsSurgeons should be cognizant of the significant increase in SU levels in the first postoperative week. Alterations in SU concentrations during the first 3 post-operative months were associated with sex, age, weight, Cr, and TC levels at baseline.
