Impact of weight reduction surgery on static and dynamic lung volumes.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundObesity could affect many functions of the body systems, particularly respiratory system. Effect of obesity on respiratory system leads to an impairment in pulmonary function tests which is represented by a decrease in lung volumes and capacities, therefore obstructive or restrictive pulmonary diseases may develop. The recent study was conducted to investigate and assess the impact of weight loss by surgery on static and dynamic lung volumes (pulmonary function tests) and the improvement in co morbidities. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study included 68 morbid obese patients, 36 females and 32 males. The patients were with age range 24-56 years, BMI≥ 40 kg/m
resultThe results showed a significant reduction in the body weight (p < 0.05), with an improvement in co morbidities. Pulmonary volumes ERV,IRV,TLC, FRC and RV were significantly changed one year after surgery as well as there were significant increases in the mean values of the dynamic volumes such as FEV1,FEV1%,FEF50%, PEF and MVV.(p < 0.05).
conclusionloss of excess body weight by bariatric surgery resulted in a significant improvement in co morbidities and function of respiratory system represented by significant changes in both static and dynamic lung volumes ….
