Within-pair analysis of monozygotic twins after bariatric surgery: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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
Obesity is an increasingly widespread illness currently affecting more than 890 million adults worldwide. Excess body weight is a multifactorial challenge, driven by complex interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental influences rendering the underlying causes of obesity difficult to identify. Monozygotic twin (MZT) studies provide great value in medical research analyzing external exposures within twin pairs with fixed genetic or environmental factors that normally tend to confound results in general population studies. Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) is considered an effective durable therapy in terms of body weight loss (BWL) and the control of cardiometabolic risk factors in obese patients. Body mass index (BMI) is known to be strongly related in MZ twins but whether this relation is stable between MZ twins after MBS is still to be determined. The results of this study support the importance of genetics over BWL after MBS with high correlation amongst MZ twin pairs.
