Impact of bariatric surgery on maternal gestational weight gain and pregnancy outcomes in women with obesity: A population-based cohort study from Qatar.
Article in Qatar medical journal, 2024. 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is performed in obese women of reproductive age to help achieve a healthy prepregnancy weight to reduce the complications associated with obesity in pregnancy. However, these procedures can impact maternal nutrition and gestational weight gain (GWG). This study evaluates the maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with prepregnancy bariatric surgery and determines the impact on GWG.
methodsThis study included 24 weeks gestation or more pregnancies, with a maternal BMI at delivery of 30 kg/m
resultsA total of 8,323 women were included in the study, 194 of whom had prepregnancy bariatric surgery. After adjusting for confounders, the exposed group had a mean GWG 1.33 kg higher than the unexposed group (95% CI 0.55-2.13, p = 0.001). The exposed group had higher odds of PTB (aOR 1.78, 95% CI 1.16-2.74, p = 0.008), CD (aOR 6.52, 95% CI 4.28-9.93, p < 0.001), LBW in term babies (aOR 2.60, 95% CI 1.34-5.03, p = 0.005), congenital anomalies (aOR 2.64, 95% CI 1.21-5.77, p = 0.015), low APGAR score (aOR 3.75, 95% CI 1.12-12.5, p = 0.032) and 80.4g lesser birthweight (95% CI -153.0, -5.8; p = 0.034). More women in the low GWG category had LBW babies (28.6% versus 6.7% in the high GWG group, p = 0.033), lowest mean BW and median BW centiles (2775 grams versus 3289 grams in the high GWG group, p = 0.004 and 57.5% versus 74.5% in the high GWG group, p = 0.040, respectively).
conclusionThe findings of this study highlight differences in perinatal outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, congenital anomalies, cesarean deliveries, and gestational weight gain between post-bariatric women and controls. These insights can help inform the planning and provision of appropriate maternity care to enhance patient safety and outcomes. The results of this study can also guide the counseling of reproductive age-group women who are planning to undergo bariatric surgery.
