Is COVID-19 Severity Impacted by Bariatric Surgery in the Early Postoperative Period?
Article in Obesity surgery, 2022. 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the real influence of bariatric surgery on the clinical evolution of patients infected with SARS-Cov-2 in the postoperative period.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis including two groups of patients: those who presented COVID-19 before bariatric surgery and those who presented it within 3 months of postoperative. Primary outcome was related to the severity of COVID-19, measured by the following variables: presence of symptoms, need for hospitalization, ICU admission, and invasive ventilation. Laboratory markers for inflammatory response, glycemic status, and micronutrients were analyzed as secondary outcomes.
resultsFrom the 222 individuals operated on within the study period, only 66 (29.7%) presented COVID-19, 42 (18.9%) in the preoperative period and 24 (10.8%) after the procedure. Mean age was 36.3 ± 9.5 years and mean preoperative BMI was 39.9 ± 4.2 kg/m
conclusionPatients who had COVID-19 before and after sleeve gastrectomy did not differ with statistical significance for the presence of symptoms, need for hospitalization, ICU admission, and invasive ventilation.
