Pregnancy Outcomes After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery According to the Surgery-to-Conception Interval: A Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study (MOMBARIS 2).
Observational study 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
introductionMetabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) improves fertility in women with severe obesity, raising concerns regarding the optimal timing of conception. Current guidelines recommend postponing pregnancy for 12-24 months after surgery; however, evidence on the impact of the surgery-to-conception interval on pregnancy outcomes remains limited.
methodsThis retrospective observational cohort study was conducted within a multicenter research framework investigating pregnancy outcomes after MBS. Data from 156 women who conceived after MBS between 2015 and 2024 were collected from eleven accredited bariatric centers. Participants were stratified according to the interval between surgery and conception: <12 months, 12-24 months, and >24 months. Maternal outcomes included gestational diabetes mellitus, pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia, mode of delivery, and gestational weight gain (GWG). Neonatal outcomes comprised gestational age at delivery, birthweight, and Apgar scores. Group comparisons were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson's chi-square test.
resultsAmong the 156 pregnancies analyzed, 41 occurred within <12 months, 71 within 12-24 months, and 44 after >24 months following surgery. Sleeve gastrectomy was the predominant procedure. No statistically significant differences were observed between groups in maternal complications, mode of delivery, gestational age at birth, birthweight, or Apgar scores (all p > 0.05). Gestational weight gain tended to be lower in pregnancies conceived within 12 months, without reaching statistical significance.
conclusionThe surgery-to-conception interval was not significantly associated with adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes in this cohort. Pregnancy planning after bariatric surgery should be individualized based on postoperative weight stabilization and nutritional status rather than a fixed time threshold; confirmation in larger prospective studies is warranted.
