Sex Differences in Adiposity, Body Fat Mobilization and Cardiometabolic Health Following Bariatric Surgery.
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 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
backgroundWeight loss in light of various weight management strategies, including bariatric surgery, is recognized to vary according to sex.
objectivesThis study aimed to compare sex differences in adiposity phenotypes, body fat mobilization, and obesity-associated comorbidities at baseline and after bariatric surgery.
methodsNinety patients (26 men and 64 women) who underwent biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch surgery (BPD-DS) were included. Medical history, anthropometric, and bioelectrical impedance measurements as well as computed tomography scans (CT scan) were performed at baseline and at 12-month after BPD-DS. Sex differences in post-operative fat and muscle mobilization were assessed using one-way analysis of variance.
resultsAt baseline, men (mean age 44.5 ± 13.2 years) presented a higher global lean mass, abdominal muscle (estimated using CT scan), a higher volume of abdominal visceral fat, and a larger proportion of mid-thigh muscle infiltrated with lipids; a proxy for ectopic fat deposition in skeletal muscle compared to women (p < 0.05 for all). After BPD-DS, there were no differences in fat distribution between sexes, except for abdominal fat volume and muscle infiltrated with lipids which remained higher in men (p < 0.05). These differences translated into a numerically non-significant lower rate of remission of comorbidities in men.
conclusionsOur result reports on sex differences in body fat mobilization at 12 months post-BPD-DS. Despite comparable body mass index and overall lean and fat mass, men exhibit a higher volume of abdominal fat volume and greater ectopic fat deposition in skeletal muscles compared to women.
