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
backgroundResearch indicates that patients undergoing bariatric surgery face a six to seven times higher risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD) compared with the population of obese individuals not undergoing surgical intervention. Studies suggest that problematic alcohol consumption encompassing depression escalates gradually after surgery.
aimsThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on the incidence of AUD and depression during the postoperative period.
methodsProspective study that evaluated 68 patients who underwent either sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The presence of AUD and depression was assessed both pre- and post-operatively. AUD assessment utilized the AUD identification test-C score, whereas depression assessment employed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
resultsThe average age of the sample was 42.81±9.28 years, with 85.3% being female. The mean follow-up was 16.54±7.41 months. In the preoperative assessment, 92.6% of the sample fell into the low-risk category for AUD. No significant difference was observed between the RYGB and SG groups. Postoperatively, 89.7% of the sample was classified as low risk for AUD, with no significant differences compared with the preoperative assessment. Regarding depression, there was no significant difference between pre- and post-operative periods for all patients. However, a notable trend toward a reduction in "severe depression" was observed in the postoperative period for patients undergoing SG (pre: 14.0% vs. post: 7.0%, p=0.013).
conclusionsThere is no significant difference in the presence of AUD and depression between pre- and post-operative assessments in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
