The Role of the BMI ≥ 40 kg/m
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
backgroundThis study explores historical trends in ASA-PS scoring and evaluates whether the ASA-PS III classification based solely on a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m
methodsAdult patients (January 2015-January 2023) were included from the Dutch Audit for the Treatment of Obesity registry. Logistic regression adjusted for confounders compared groups stratified by BMI and presence of systemic disease. OUTCOME MEASURES: complication prevalence (peri-operative, ≤ 30 days and > 30 days), Clavien-Dindo score, hospital stay (> 2 days), ICU admission, readmission, and mortality rates.
resultsA total of 75,871 patients (78.8% women, age 43.5 (SD 11.8) years, BMI 42.9 (SD 5.3) kg/m
conclusionsA large Dutch national registry on metabolic surgery showed that ASA-PS III patients with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m
