Bariatric surgery short-term outcomes in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: the Severe Obesity Outcome Network prospective cohort.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAlthough the benefits of bariatric surgery have been clearly established, it is not known whether they are as important in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Primary aim: to evaluate whether patients with moderate-to-severe OSA (apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/h) treated by continuous positive airway pressure/non-invasive ventilation (median [IQR] adherence 6.5 h/night [5; 7.9] at baseline) lose the same amount of body weight 1 year after bariatric surgery as patients with no or mild OSA. Secondary objectives: to compare the evolution of type 2 diabetes and hypertension after bariatric surgery, and surgical complication rates between groups. METHODS/SUBJECTS: Analyses were performed in 371 patients included in a prospective cohort of bariatric surgery, the Severe Obesity Outcome Network cohort. Subjects having moderate-to-severe OSA (n = 210) at baseline were compared with other subjects (n = 161).
resultsExcess weight loss (%EWL) at 1 year was lower in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA than in patients without (64.9%EWL [46.9; 79.5] vs. 73.8%EWL [56.6; 89.3], p < 0.01). Multivariable analysis showed that age, initial body mass index and type of surgery, but not OSA status, were associated with 1-year %EWL. Diabetes remitted in 25 (41%) patients with moderate-to-severe OSA and 16 (48%) patients with no or mild OSA (p = 0.48). Hypertension remitted in 28 (32.9%) patients with moderate-to-severe OSA and 9 (40.9%) with no or mild (p = 0.48). Complication rates were 28 (13.3%) in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA and 12 (7.5%) in patients with no or mild OSA (p = 0.07).
conclusionsPatients with OSA lose less body weight after bariatric surgery. This was related to older age and a higher baseline body mass index. However, the improvements of diabetes and hypertension were similar to that of patients without OSA, and the risk of surgical complications was not higher.
