The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Renal Function: a Retrospective Analysis of Short-Term Outcomes.
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 9 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
purposeObesity and diabetes mellitus are now leading causes of chronic kidney disease. Our study investigated the effects of bariatric surgery on estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) and urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in morbidly obese patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe clinical materials for patients who underwent bariatric surgery were retrospectively analyzed with a 6-month follow-up period between January 1, 2018, and June 1, 2020. The eGFR (ml/min) was calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula equation. The urinary ACR was measured during the follow-up. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m
resultsSixty-one patients who underwent bariatric surgery-laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB; n = 22) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG; n = 39)-were included in this study. The eGFR of both groups decreased at the follow-up outpatient visits (p < 0.001), although eGFR did not differ between the two groups. Unexpectedly, the ACR increased in the first month after LSG (p < 0.01) but decreased with a descending trend with no significant difference (p > 0.05) throughout the remaining follow-up period. Interestingly, ACR showed a descending trend with no significant difference during the follow-up in the LRYGB group (p > 0.05). The SBP and DBP decreased after bariatric surgery, with no significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05).
conclusionBariatric surgery is associated with improvements in postoperative renal function 6 months following surgery. The different alterations in ACR following LSG and LRYGB procedures demonstrate the underlying mechanism.
