Does Significant Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery Affect Sexual Function and Urinary Symptoms? An Iranian 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 5 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
introductionFor sexual dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), obesity is identified as an independent risk factor. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of significant rapid weight loss by bariatric surgery on LUTS and sexual function among men and women with class III obesity.
methodA group of patients who were planned to undergo bariatric surgery was enrolled in the study. Male patients were given the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaires. In the female group, they filled in the female sexual function index (FSFI) and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire short form (ICIQ-SF) questionnaires. Patients were followed up 1 year after their bariatric surgery.
resultsAll questionnaires were completed by eighty-one patients. (mean age ± SD: 39.4 ± 9.2 years; mean body mass index (BMI) ± SD: 47.15 ± 5.4 kg/m
conclusionBariatric surgery can significantly improve the storage phase in men, but not the voiding phase. Sexual desire, orgasmic function, and overall satisfaction were significantly improved in men. No significant improvement in sexual function and UI in women was observed.
