Screening Mammography Adherence Improves After Bariatric Surgery.
Article in The Journal of surgical research, 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
introductionPoor adherence to mammography screening guidelines has been reported in women with obesity. However, bariatric surgery has been associated with lower incidence of breast cancer postoperatively. The mechanisms for this protective effect are unknown. We examined the relationship between bariatric surgery and screening mammography adherence.
methodsUsing a commercial health insurance claims database, all female patients between ages 40 and 64 who underwent bariatric surgery were identified and compared to three control groups who did not undergo bariatric surgery stratified across obesity-related billing codes. Screening mammography rates were calculated as the total number of screenings divided by the total person-years of follow-up. THe screening rate was standardized to a frequency of 1 exam every 2 y based on United States Preventative Services Taskforce guidelines. We ran multivariable Poisson regression models of the rate of mammography screening, adjusting for sociodemographic factors and comorbidities.
resultsThe rates of screening were 0.91 of the recommended frequency in bariatric surgery patients prior to surgery and 1.22 of the recommended frequency after surgery (P < 0.001). In multivariable models, bariatric surgery patients had a significantly lower rate of mammogram screening in the presurgical period (incidence rate ratio 0.99, 95% CI 0.98-0.99, P = 0.025) and a significantly higher rate in the postsurgical period (incidence rate ratio 1.34, 95% CI 1.32-1.35, P < 0.001) relative to the "no obesity" control group.
conclusionsThe rate of adherence to recommended mammography screening for breast cancer increased following bariatric surgery. This suggests that women with obesity may experience improved mammography screening adherence following bariatric surgery.
