A Bibliometric Analysis of Bariatric Surgery in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Research Trends and Influential Publications (2000-2024).
Review in Obesity surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent decades, sedentary lifestyles and Western dietary patterns have contributed to the rise of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). While lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy are first-line treatments, bariatric surgery has emerged as a highly effective option, particularly for severe obesity and NAFLD-related cirrhosis. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (SCI-EXPANDED) from 2000 to 2024. After exclusions, 1077 English articles were analyzed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace for co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and trend analysis. In addition, the top 100 most-cited articles were further examined for authorship, institutional, national, and journal contributions. We found that bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for reversing NASH and fibrosis in NAFLD. Future integration into NAFLD management requires addressing accessibility, cost, and perioperative risks, alongside promoting international collaboration and personalized treatment approaches.
