Association of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) with Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass at 10 Years: A Secondary Analysis of the SLEEVEPASS Randomized Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00793143 (A Randomized Prospective Three-center Study), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundSevere obesity is associated with a low-grade chronic inflammation, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a marker that can be used to evaluate chronic inflammation status. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is shown to decrease hs-CRP level, but long-term results are scarce, and association with weight loss outcomes is undetermined. This study aims to evaluate chronic inflammation in patients with obesity using hs-CRP, and its association with long-term weight loss outcomes after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).
methodsThe long-term follow-up data of SLEEVEPASS (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00793143) randomized clinical trial (RCT) was used. Hs-CRP was measured at baseline, and at 6 months, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years after surgery, and the association with weight and weight loss outcomes were analyzed.
resultsHs-CRP at baseline was available for 59 out of 240 (24.6%) patients. In the whole study population, the nadir hs-CRP (mean estimate 1.14 mg/ml, 95% CI 0.87-1.49) was achieved at 3 years after surgery with a statistically significant difference to baseline (p = 0.003). No statistically significant difference was seen between LSG and LRYGB in hs-CRP change over time (operation*time interaction p = 0.540). Higher hs-CRP correlated with higher BMI at baseline (Spearman correlation 0.282, p = 0.030) and at 10 years (Spearman correlation 0.490, p = 0.001). At 10 years, a greater percentage total weight loss (%TWL) correlated with lower hs-CRP level (Spearman correlation - 0.558, p < 0.001). Baseline hs-CRP (Spearman correlation - 0.152, p = 0.299) and hs-CRP change in first 6 months postoperatively (Spearman correlation 0.167, p = 0.254) did not correlate statistically significantly with %TWL at 10 years.
conclusionsMBS decreases hs-CRP also at long-term follow-up with weight loss as the driving force. Neither baseline hs-CRP nor hs-CRP change at 6 months were feasible as a predictive marker for long-term outcomes.
