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
Revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass after sleeve gastrectomy may worsen bone loss compared to primary surgery. This study found significantly lower hip and femoral neck bone density despite similar body composition. These results emphasize the need for careful bone monitoring in patients undergoing revisional bariatric procedures.
backgroundBariatric surgery effectively treats severe obesity but adversely affects bone health, particularly after malabsorptive procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). While skeletal consequences of primary RYGB are well-documented, data on revisional RYGB following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are scarce. This study aimed to assess the impact of revisional RYGB on bone mineral density (BMD), body composition, and related biochemical parameters.
methodsIn this single-center, cross-sectional study, postmenopausal women who underwent primary or revisional RYGB were evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Two groups were defined: primary RYGB (n = 97) and revisional RYGB after SG (n = 23). Demographics, comorbidities, osteoporosis risk factors, BMD at lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip, and body composition were collected. BMD and body composition were analyzed both unadjusted and adjusted for age, BMI, and time since surgery.
resultsBaseline characteristics, BMI, comorbidities, and osteoporotic risk factors were similar between groups. Unadjusted femoral neck BMD and T-scores were significantly lower in the revisional RYGB group (BMD: 0.693 ± 0.098 vs. 0.761 ± 0.114 g/cm
conclusionsRevisional RYGB after SG is associated with lower BMD at femoral sites compared with primary RYGB, even after adjusting for age, BMI, and time since surgery, while body composition is similar. These findings highlight the need for targeted bone health monitoring and management in patients undergoing revisional bariatric procedures.
