Bariatric surgery and weight loss in the short- and long-term: Evidence from NHANES 2015-2018.
Article in Clinical obesity, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The present study aimed to examine short- and long-term weight change in a nationally representative sample of US adults who reportedly underwent bariatric surgery. Individuals aged 20-64 at survey from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-2018 were included in the analyses (n = 6776). The primary comparison groups include 62 participants who underwent bariatric surgery, 1531 eligible but did not receive surgery, and 5183 not eligible for bariatric surgery. After adjusting for demographic characteristics and comorbidity, adults who reported receiving bariatric surgery were 5.0 times (4.0-6.0) more likely to achieve at least 20% weight loss from maximum weight relative to those who were eligible but reported no surgery. The likelihood appeared to be higher when surgery was performed within 10 years (short-term, PR 5.5, 95% CI: 4.0, 7.0) relative to surgeries that were performed for 10 or more years (long-term, PR 3.6, 95% CI: 2.0, 5.3). In this nationally representative sample of US adults, respondents who received bariatric surgery achieved substantial and significant weight loss compared with those who were eligible and did not receive bariatric surgery. Weight loss appeared to be most apparent in the short term and persisted over the long term.
