Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and Bone Mineral Density: A 9-Year Prospective Study.
Article 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
backgroundMetabolic and bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for obesity; however, it may have adverse effects on skeletal health. This study aimed to evaluate long-term changes in skeletal health following sleeve gastrectomy.
methodsWe included consecutive patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy between 2010 and 2016. All participants underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and femoral neck at baseline and follow-up.
resultsThe study cohort consisted of 72 patients (62 women and 10 men; mean age 43.6 ± 9.2 years). The median follow-up was 9 [9-10] years. Body weight decreased from 112.8 [102.4-124.5] kg to 91.5 [82.1-105.6] kg (p < 0.001), and body mass index from 41.2 [38.5-44.2] to 34.3 [30.4-38.2] kg/m² (p < 0.001). Significant reductions in femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) (-0.10 [-0.17-(-0.04)] g/cm
conclusionsNearly a decade after metabolic and bariatric surgery, bone mineral density may be significantly decreased at the femoral neck. Further prospective studies are warranted to clarify the mechanical, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying long-term skeletal health following metabolic and bariatric surgery.
