Benefits in routinely measured liver function tests following bariatric surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Bariatric surgery is well-established to support long-term metabolic health benefits associated with considerable weight loss. Here, we aim to determine the longer-term impact of bariatric surgery on liver enzymes and associations with other metabolic improvements. Methods: One hundred patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2007 and 2014 were included, and changes in liver enzymes, anthropometric measures and other parameters were observed over a mean 9.8 years. Results: At the time of surgery, the mean age was 45.4 ± 9.6 years, weight 141.2 ± 31.6 kg, and body mass index (BMI) 50.2 ± 10.1 kg/m Conclusions: Bariatric surgery is associated with rapid and sustained improvements in routine liver enzymes at 10 years, and sustained improvements in features of the metabolic syndrome. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-023-01311-4.
