Might female patients benefit more from bariatric surgery with respect to inflammation.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Bariatric surgery is an effective method for severe obesity and its related comorbidities, in which inflammation plays a crucial role. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and to explore the related factors including gender. Methods: We retrospectively included 72 patients undergoing LSG in our hospital from 2017 to 2020. Clinical information, laboratory investigations as well as parameters derived from traditional and 2D strain echocardiography were collected. Univariate logistic model was used in myocardial performance index (MPI) and Results: At baseline, all patients had normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The myocardial performance index (MPI) (OR = 1.218 (95%CI 1.040, 1.426); Conclusions: The present study indicated a significant correlation between subclinical cardiac dysfunction and CRP among obese patients. Furthermore, female patients might benefit more from bariatric surgery on inflammation.
