DXA evaluation of bone fragility 2 years after bariatric surgery in patients with obesity.
Article in Bone reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: The primary objective was to evaluate bone fragility on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in patients with obesity before and 2 years after bariatric surgery. The secondary objective was to identify risk factors for the development of a bone mineral density ≤ -2 SD at 2 years. Methods: This descriptive study included patients with obesity who underwent DXA before and 2 years (±6 months) after bariatric surgery. The BMD and the T-score were assessed at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip. Data on body composition on DXA were also collected. The diagnosis of osteoporosis was retained for a T-score ≤ - 2.5 SD at any measured location. Osteopenia, or low bone mass, was defined by -2.5 SD < T-score ≤ -1 SD. Results: Among the 675 included patients, 77.8 % were women, with a mean age of 49.5 years (±11.1). After bariatric surgery, there were significantly more patients with osteoporosis: 3.6 % vs. 0.9 % ( Conclusion: There was a significantly higher prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass 2 years after bariatric surgery. Older age and lower lean and fat mass at baseline were risk factors for the development of a BMD ≤ -2SD at 2 years.
