Five-Year Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery vs. Conservative Weight Management in People with HIV: A Single-Center Tertiary Care Experience.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionIndividuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection now have life expectancies similar to non-infected people but face increased obesity prevalence. The long-term effects of bariatric surgery (BS) and conservative weight therapy (CWT) in patients living with HIV (PLWH) remain unexplored.
methodsA retrospective review (2012-2018) at a Tertiary Centre for Bariatric Surgery and National Centre for HIV care examined the outcomes of BS and CWT. Parameters evaluated included weight loss and HIV metrics such as viral load and CD4 count.
resultsThe study included 24 chronic HIV patients, with 10 undergoing BS (5 laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), 3 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), 2 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and 14 in CWT. The BS group showed significant BMI reduction (- 7.07, - 6.55, - 7.81 kg/m DISCUSSION: BS appears to be a safe and effective medium-term treatment for obesity in PLWH, providing significant weight loss whilst maintaining the efficacy of HIV treatments. Although CWT has shown modest benefits, the outcomes from BS indicate that it could be a preferable option for managing obesity in PLWH based on this limited dataset.
