Changes in inflammation, oxidative stress and adipokines following bariatric surgery among adolescents with severe obesity.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00474318 (Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 54 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesInflammation, oxidative stress and dysregulation of adipokines are thought to be pathophysiological mechanisms linking obesity to the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. In adults, bariatric surgery reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, and beneficially changes the levels of several adipokines, but little is known about the postsurgical changes among adolescents. SUBJECTS/
methodsIn two separate longitudinal cohorts we evaluated change from baseline of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1), oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (oxLDL), adiponectin, leptin and resistin up to 12 months following elective laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) surgery in adolescents with severe obesity.
resultsIn cohort 1, which consisted of 39 adolescents (mean age 16.5±1.6 years; 29 females) undergoing either RYGB or VSG, IL-6 (baseline: 2.3±3.4 pg ml(-1) vs 12 months: 0.8±0.6 pg ml(-1), P<0.01), leptin (baseline: 178±224 ng ml(-1) vs 12 months: 41.4±31.9 ng ml(-1), P<0.001) and oxLDL (baseline: 41.6±11.6 U l(-1) vs 12 months: 35.5±11.1 U l(-1), P=0.001) significantly decreased and adiponectin significantly increased (baseline: 5.4±2.4 μg ml(-1) vs 12 months: 13.5±8.9 μg ml(-1), P<0.001). In cohort 2, which consisted of 13 adolescents (mean age 16.5±1.6 years; 10 females) undergoing RYGB, results were similar: IL-6 (baseline: 1.7±0.9 pg ml(-1) vs 12 months: 0.4±0.9 pg ml(-1), P<0.05) and leptin (baseline: 92.9±31.3 ng ml(-1) vs 12 months: 37.3±33.4 ng ml(-1), P<0.001) significantly decreased and adiponectin significantly increased (baseline: 6.1±2.9 μg ml(-1) vs 12 months: 15.4±8.0 μg ml(-1), P<0.001). When the cohorts were combined to evaluate changes at 12 months, oxLDL also significantly decreased (baseline: 39.8±16.7 U l(-1) vs 12 months: 32.7±11.9 U l(-1), P=0.03).
conclusionsBariatric surgery produced robust improvements in markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and several adipokines among adolescents with severe obesity, suggesting potential reductions in risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
