Bariatric Surgery and Type 2 Diabetes Remission Rates: a Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing Military Veterans and Beneficiaries.
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 3 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
purposeThe disease burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) costs the military healthcare system an estimated $1.66 billion annually. Thirty-four percent of veterans and 28% of military beneficiaries are obese, a common feature of T2D. Bariatric surgery is a viable treatment for T2D, whether if long-term remission of T2D post-bariatric surgery occurs remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess differences between outcomes of veterans and military beneficiaries following bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study assessed retirees and beneficiaries diagnosed with T2D who had bariatric surgery between 2005 and 2015. Outcomes included T2D remission and vitamin and mineral deficiencies each year for 5 years post-op, analyzed via ANOVA.
resultsNinety-one patients, 46 beneficiaries and 45 retirees, were included with a mean age of 51 and 57, respectively. No significant differences between T2D remission and vitamin/mineral deficiencies 5 years post-op were found between groups. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes before surgery were less likely to achieve T2D remission for all 5 years post-op, regardless of military affiliation (p < .05).
conclusionVeterans do not have better rates of T2D remission or weight loss following bariatric surgery than other populations. Control of T2D pre-surgery is a potential clinical indicator of T2D remission success following bariatric surgery.
