Body roundness index trajectories in Chinese bariatric surgery patients: a retrospective longitudinal study.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo investigate the body roundness index (BRI) trajectory categories 12 months post-bariatric surgery and to explore the association between BRI and metabolic abnormalities. DESIGN AND
methodsSubject data were pooled from a tertiary hospital at baseline, 3 and 12 months post-surgery. Anthropometric measurements included the BRI and body mass index (BMI). Metabolic biomarkers comprised triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glucose (GLU), and uric acid (UA). The BRI level was categorized using growth mixture model, and a multilevel logistic regression model was employed to explore the relationship between BRI and metabolic risk.
resultsA total of 669 patients were included in this study, comprising 286 males (42.8%) and 383 females (57.2%), with an average age of 31.70 ± 9.53 years (range of 18 to 65 years). Patients were classified into three BRI trajectory categories. Compared to the Low-gradual decline group, the High-rapid decline group had an increased risk of abnormal HDL-C (OR = 2.84 [95% CI, 1.73 ~ 4.67]), and had the highest proportion of sleeve gastrectomy plus jejunojejunal bypass (SG + JJB) and single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) (P < 0.001); while the High-gradual decline group had increased risk of abnormal TG (OR = 3.28 [95%CI,1.67-6.42]), HDL-C (OR = 4.30 [95%CI, 2.31 ~ 8.00]), LDL-C (OR = 2.10 [95%CI, 1.12 ~ 3.93]), and UA (OR = 2.33 [95%CI, 1.33 ~ 4.10]). After adjusting for demographics, lifestyle factors, and surgical procedures, the distribution of risk outcomes remained primarily consistent.
conclusionsSleeve gastrectomy (SG) plus procedures could potentially be associated with improvements in abdominal obesity and metabolic status in patients with high BRI. The post-bariatric trajectories based on BRI may offer insights into the metabolic risk levels of Chinese bariatric patients, but further research is needed to confirm these findings.
