Incidence of metabolic and bariatric surgery among US adults with obesity by diabetes status: 2016-2020.
Article in BMJ open diabetes research & care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionMetabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective intervention to manage diabetes and obesity. The population-based incidence of MBS is unknown.
objectiveTo estimate the incidence of MBS among US adults with obesity by diabetes status and selected sociodemographic characteristics. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2016-2020 Nationwide Inpatient Sample and Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample to capture MBS procedures. The National Health Interview Survey was used to establish the denominator for incidence calculations. Participants included US non-pregnant adults aged ≥18 years with obesity. The main outcome was incident MBS without previous MBS, defined by International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision Procedure Codes, Diagnosis Related Group system codes, and Current Procedural Terminology codes. Adjusted incidence and annual percentage change (2016-2019) were estimated using logistic regression.
resultsAmong US adults with obesity, over 900 000 MBS procedures were performed in inpatient and hospital-owned ambulatory surgical centers in the USA during 2016-2020. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence of MBS per 1000 adults was 5.9 (95% CI 5.4 to 6.4) for adults with diabetes and 2.0 (95% CI 1.9 to 2.1) for adults without diabetes. MBS incidence was significantly higher for women and adults with class III obesity regardless of diabetes status. The highest incidence of MBS occurred in the Northeast region. Sleeve gastrectomy was the most common MBS surgical approach.
conclusionsIncident MBS procedures were nearly threefold higher among adults with obesity and diabetes than those with obesity but without diabetes. Continued monitoring of the trends of MBS and other treatment modalities can inform our understanding of treatment accessibility to guide prevention efforts aimed at reducing obesity and diabetes.
