A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Use of Rivaroxaban as Thromboprophylaxis Following Bariatric Surgery.
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
Bariatric surgery and obesity increase VTE risk. While VTE incidence after bariatric surgery is low, it impacts morbidity and 30-day mortality. The lack of consensus on the optimal thromboprophylaxis has driven research into alternatives like DOACs. The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban as thromboprophylaxis after bariatric surgery and the most effective thromboprophylaxis strategy. Findings from the nine included studies show that rivaroxaban is as effective as controls for DVT/PE prevention, with no PMVT cases. The incidence of minor and major bleeding requiring transfusion are more common with rivaroxaban however the meta-analysis does not consider this as significant evidence against its use. In the subgroup analysis, no significant differences are observed between long- and short-course rivaroxaban regimens across all primary outcomes, though shorter courses showed fewer bleeding complications.
