Bone Mineral Density Trends During the First Year After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy-a Cohort Study on 241 Patients.
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 4 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
purposeLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective weight loss procedure, but detrimental effects on bone health have been described. We aimed to assess the dynamics of regional and total bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of patients undergoing LSG and to capture gender differences in terms of evolution. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study on 241 patients who underwent LSG to determine the regional and total BMD changes at 6 and 12 months after the intervention.
resultsOne hundred ten males and 140 females (97 pre-, 43 postmenopausal) were included. Mean baseline body mass index (BMI) was 44.16 ± 6.11 kg/m
conclusionsOur results are consistent with previous findings that LSG negatively impacts BMD, stressing the importance of bone health-oriented measures in postoperative care. Moreover, the impact that seems more significant in males warrants future exploration, as it might change clinical practice.
