Pre-Operative Substance Use Disorder is Associated with Higher Risk of Long-Term Mortality Following Bariatric Surgery.
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 2 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
purposeMetabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been associated with reduced all-cause mortality. While the number of subjects with substance use disorders (SUD) before MBS has been documented, the impact of pre-operative SUD on long-term mortality following MBS is unknown. This study assessed long-term mortality of patients with and without pre-operative SUD who underwent MBS. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo statewide databases were used for this study: Utah Bariatric Surgery Registry (UBSR) and the Utah Population Database. Subjects who underwent MBS between 1997 and 2018 were linked to death records (1997-2021) to identify any death and cause for death following MBS. All deaths (internal, external, and unknown reasons), internal deaths, and external deaths were the primary outcomes of the study. External causes of death included death from injury, poisoning, and suicide. Internal causes of death included deaths that were associated with natural causes such as heart disease, cancer, and infections. A total of 17,215 patients were included in the analysis. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of controlled covariates, including the pre-operative SUD.
resultsThe subjects with pre-operative SUD had a 2.47 times higher risk of death as compared to those without SUD (HR = 2.47, p < 0.01). Those with pre-operative SUD had a higher internal cause of death than those without SUD by 129% (HR = 2.29, p < 0.01) and 216% higher external mortality risk than those without pre-operative SUD (HR = 3.16, p < 0.01).
conclusionPre-operative SUD was associated with higher hazards of all-cause, internal cause, and external cause mortality in patients who undergo bariatric surgery.
