The Impact of Reoperations Following Bariatric Surgery on Mid-term Outcomes.
Article in Obesity 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
purposeWith the obesity epidemic, the number of bariatric procedures is increasing, and although considered relatively safe, major postoperative complications still occur. In cancer surgery, major complications such as reoperations have been associated with deteriorated mid/long-term outcomes. In obesity surgery, the effects of reoperations on postoperative weight loss and associated comorbidities remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess mid-term weight loss and comorbidities following early reoperations in obesity surgery.
methodsA population-based cohort study was performed within the Dutch Audit for Treatment of Obesity (DATO), including all patients that underwent a primary gastric bypass procedure or sleeve gastrectomy. Follow-up data was collected up until 5 years postoperatively on percentage total weight loss (%TWL) and comorbidities.
resultsA total of 40,640 patients underwent a gastric bypass procedure or sleeve gastrectomy between 2015 and 2018. Within this cohort, 709 patients (1.7%) suffered a major complication requiring reoperation within 30 days. %TWL at 24 months was 33.1 ± 9.2 in the overall population, versus 32.9 ± 8.7 in the patients who underwent a reoperation (p=0.813). Both analysis per year and Cox regression techniques revealed no differences in long-term follow-up regarding percentage TLW, and weight loss success rates (%TWL>20%) in patients who underwent a reoperation compared to patients without reoperation. At 5 years, the availability of follow-up data was low. No differences were observed in the remission of comorbidities. DISCUSSION: Major complications requiring reoperation within 30 days of gastric bypass surgery or sleeve gastrectomy did not affect long-term outcomes with regard to weight loss or remission of comorbidities.
