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
objectiveBariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) is an effective intervention for obesity, with proven benefits in reducing cardiovascular events and mortality. However, its impact on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of BMS compared to nonsurgical management in CKD patients with obesity, focusing on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), major adverse kidney events (MAKE), and all-cause mortality.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX database, including adult patients with CKD and obesity. Patients who underwent BMS (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) were compared to those receiving lifestyle interventions. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, MACE, and MAKE. Secondary outcomes included individual components of the primary outcome. Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to assess outcomes across short-term (1 month-1 year), intermediate (up to 3 years), and long-term (up to 5 years) follow-up periods. Subgroup analyses were conducted by CKD stage (1-3 vs. 4-5) to evaluate effect heterogeneity across different levels of kidney function.
resultsAfter matching, 5,221 patients were included in each group. Over a 5-year follow-up, BMS was associated with significantly lower risk of the primary composite outcome (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.70-0.81; p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that this protective effect was observed across all CKD stages, with a more pronounced reduction in MAKE among patients with advanced CKD (stages 4-5) compared to early-stage CKD (stages 1-3). BMS was also associated with greater preservation of eGFR over time compared to controls.
conclusionAmong adults with obesity and CKD, BMS was associated with lower risks of mortality, MACE, and MAKE, as well as slower decline in kidney function. The benefits were consistent across CKD stages and appeared particularly pronounced in patients with advanced CKD (stages 4-5), highlighting the potential role of BMS in high-risk kidney populations. Further randomized trials are needed to validate these results and refine patient selection criteria.
