Bariatric Metabolic Surgery Reduced Liver Enzyme Levels in Patients with Non-Alcohol Fatty Liver Disease.
Article in Kansas journal of medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionApproximately 93.3 million Americans are obese (BMI > 30 kg/m
methodsA retrospective analysis of adults with NAFLD who underwent bariatric metabolic surgery from 2009 to 2016 was conducted. The primary outcomes were transaminase levels following surgery. Secondary outcomes included levels of blood glucose and lipids.
resultsA total of 130 participants consisting of 80% Caucasian females with an average BMI of 47.5 kg/m
conclusionsBariatric metabolic surgery was associated with a reduction in liver enzyme levels in NAFLD. These findings suggested that bariatric metabolic surgery is a viable treatment option for participants with NAFLD.
