Which nutritional prognosis is better? comparison of the three most commonly performed bariatric surgeries: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Review 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: Obesity is one of the most important public health conditions in the world, and surgical intervention is the only medical treatment recognized by the medical community as a complete and permanent cure for morbid obesity and its complications. The choice of surgical modality is also based more on the experience of the physician or the requirements of people with obesity, rather than on scientific data. In this issue, a thorough comparison of the nutritional deficiencies caused by the three most commonly used surgical modalities is needed. Objectives: We aimed to use the network meta-analysis to compare the nutritional deficiencies caused by the three most common BS procedures in many subjects who underwent BS to help physicians determine the best BS surgical approach to apply to their clinical people with obesity. Setting: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of world literature. Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, systematically reviewed the literature, and conducted a network meta-analysis using R Studio. Results: For the four vitamins calcium, vitamin B12, iron and vitamin D, the micronutrient deficiency caused by RYGB is the most serious. Conclusions: RYGB causes slightly higher nutritional deficiencies in Bariatric surgery, but RYGB remains the most commonly used modality for Bariatric surgery.
