Effectiveness of Bariatric Surgery in Increasing Kidney Transplant Eligibility in Patients with Kidney Failure Requiring Dialysis.
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 8 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.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 15 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purposeSevere obesity can increase risk of complications after kidney transplantation. There is a paucity of literature on bariatric surgery outcomes in renal transplant candidates. The objective of this study was to analyze outcomes of bariatric surgery as a weight reduction strategy for patients with kidney failure to enhance eligibility for kidney transplantation. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database at a single institution for patients with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis therapy (CKD G5D) undergoing bariatric surgery between 2011 and 2018.
resultsOf 2363 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, 38 (1.6%) had CKD G5D; median age (range) was 49 years (33; 69), 52.6% were female, and mean BMI was 44.2 kg/m
conclusionLaparoscopic bariatric surgery offers effective weight loss for CKD G5D patients to achieve transplant eligibility with acceptable outcomes.
