Five-year Changes in Body Composition in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with a BMI < 32.5 kg/m
Article in Obesity surgery, 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
purposeInformation is scarce on the five-year effect of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) on body composition for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with a low BMI. This study aimed to evaluate the five-year changes in body composition in a Chinese T2DM cohort with a BMI < 32.5 kg/m
methodsTwenty-seven T2DM patients were assessed preoperatively (baseline) and 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years after LRYGB with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
resultsDXA assessments were completed in 100%, 85%, 85%, 85%, 48%, and 37% at baseline and 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, respectively. For the whole body, fat-free mass and muscle mass decreased from 6 months to 5 years after LRYGB (P < 0.05), while bone mineral content decreased at 5 years after LRYGB (P < 0.05). Fat mass of different regions decreased from 3 months to 1 year (P < 0.05), and a similar magnitude of variation was observed in body fat mass percentage. A fat redistribution characterized by the regional fat proportion of trunk and android decreasing and the regional fat proportion of limbs gaining (P < 0.05) occurred at 5 years after LRYGB.
conclusionFor low BMI patients with T2DM, LRYGB led to a short-term reduction in FM and a lasting reduction in FFM. A metabolically healthy fat redistribution occurring 5 years after LRYGB might be a promising mechanism to explain the lasting benefits of LRYGB for T2DM patients with a low BMI.
