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
Among a US cohort followed 5 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, cumulative incidence of marriage and separation/divorce were 18% among unmarried (N=614) and 13% among married (N=827) participants, respectively. Preoperative predictors of marriage included younger age, college degree, lower BMI and cohabitating or being separated (versus single). Objectives: To describe changes in marital status following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Background: Spousal encouragement and finding a life partner are self-reported motivators for undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: This study included 1441 US adults enrolled in a 6-center prospective cohort study who underwent RYGB or SG (2006-2009) and self-reported marital status preoperatively and annually postoperatively for ≤5 years. Time to change in marital status was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier estimates of cumulative incidence and Cox proportional-hazard models. Results: Preoperative, 57% of participants (79% female, median age 47 years, median body mass index [BMI] 47 kg/m Conclusions: Among a cohort of US adults, the majority did not change marital status within 5 years following RYGB or SG. Cumulative incidence of marriage and separation/divorce was 18% among unmarried and 13% among married participants, respectively. Several preoperative predictors of marriage and separation/divorce were identified.
