The association of bariatric surgery and Dupuytren's disease: a propensity score-matched cohort study.
Article in The Journal of hand surgery, European volume, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We aimed to assess the association between bariatric surgery and incident Dupuytren's disease (DD) using propensity score-matched cohort studies among Swedish nationwide healthcare registries. Patients aged 30-79 years who underwent bariatric surgery 2006-2019 were matched on their propensity scores, up to two obese bariatric surgery-free (unexposed) patients. We applied Cox proportional hazard regression to calculate hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the risk of DD overall, in subgroups of age, sex, bariatric surgery type and duration of follow-up. Among 34,959 bariatric surgery patients and 54,769 propensity score-matched obese patients, the risk of DD was increased in bariatric surgery patients compared with obese unexposed patients (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.02-1.65), among women (HR 1.36; 1.00-1.84); those undergoing gastric bypass (HR 1.33; 1.04-1.71) and those with >5 years follow-up (HR 1.63; 1.14-2.34). Our results suggest that substantial weight loss is associated with an increased risk of DD in an obese population.
