Short-Term Evolution of MASLD Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Focus on Fibrotic MASH.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) includes simple steatosis and metabolic dysfuncion-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), with fibrosis in MASH serving as a critical prognostic marker. This study investigates the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on fibrotic MASH, assessed using the fibrotic NASH index (FNI) and the non-invasive NASH detection score (NI-NASH-DS), as well as provides further data on the diagnostic accuracy of both scores.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 104 individuals (91.3% female, mean age 39.4 ± 8.6 years) who underwent RYGB. Histopathological evaluations during surgery identified fibrotic MASH, and FNI and NI-NASH-DS values were calculated at baseline and 1 year post-surgery.
resultsAt the time of surgery, participants had a mean BMI of 35.3 ± 2.8 kg/m
conclusionsRYGB seemingly promotes improvement of fibrotic MASH as evaluated by FNI, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic intervention to mitigate MASLD progression. Both FNI and NI-NASH-DS are helpful and inexpensive tools for assessing MASH.
