The association of sagittal abdominal diameter with metabolic syndrome risk before and after weight-loss surgery in adolescents.
Article in Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) affects ∼10% of U.S. adolescents. Abdominal obesity is the most prevalent component and may indicate MetS risk in adolescents undergoing weight loss surgery.
objectivesAssess MetS risk/severity and its association with abdominal obesity (measured by sagittal abdominal diameter, SAD) before and after weight loss surgery in adolescents to determine whether SAD predicts MetS risk in this population.
settingData were collected in the Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) study at 5 sites (U.S. children's hospitals) performing weight-loss surgery in adolescents. The current study is a secondary analysis of these data.
methodsWe examined data collected presurgery through 5 years postsurgery. MetS risk/severity was defined using the MetS severity z score (MetS-z), and MetS prevalence was determined using age-appropriate criteria. Association between SAD and MetS-z was evaluated with an adjusted linear mixed model.
resultsAmong 228 individuals (75% female, 72% White), mean age 16.5 years and body mass index (BMI) 53 kg/m
conclusionsAbdominal obesity is a key MetS risk marker in youth undergoing weight loss surgery. Both SAD and Met-z measures may be useful for MetS risk assessment and tracking postsurgery changes in this population, but more research is needed to identify effective lifestyle interventions targeting abdominal obesity.
