Predictors of complete remission of type 2 diabetes in patients over 65 years of age - a multicenter study.
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 6 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
introductionThe type 2 diabetes (T2D) improvement rate in the elderly is high after bariatric and metabolic surgery, but not all patients achieve complete remission of disease. There are some predictors for T2D remission after bariatric surgery in patients of different ages, but there are few studies describing these factors in elderly patients. The study aimed to determine predictors for diabetes remission after bariatric surgery among patients over 65 years of age. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective study analyzed patients over 65 years with T2D who underwent laparoscopic bariatric procedures in European country from 2008 to 2022. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain significant, independent risk factors.
resultsThe group consisted of 146 patients divided into two groups: responders (R) and nonresponders (NR). The complete remission of T2D was achieved in 51 (34.9%) patients. There were 95 (65.1%) patients in the NR group with partial remission, improvement, or no changes in T2D. The mean follow-up was 50.0 months. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, a T2D duration of less than 5 years was found to be a predictor to T2D remission (OR = 5.5, p = 0.002), %EWL significantly corresponded to T2D remission (OR = 1.090, p = 0009).
conclusionBariatric and metabolic surgery appears to be a good option for T2D treatment in elderly patients. A shorter duration of T2D before surgery and higher %EWL after surgery were independent predictors of T2D remission in patients over 65 years of age.
