Bariatric surgery before and after kidney transplantation: long-term weight loss and allograft outcomes.
Article in Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSevere obesity is frequently a barrier to kidney transplantation, and kidney transplant recipients often have significant weight gain following transplantation.
objectivesThe goals of this study were to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of bariatric surgery before and after kidney transplantation.
settingUniversity Hospital, United States.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 43 patients who had pretransplantation bariatric surgery and 21 patients who had posttransplantation bariatric surgery from 1994 to 2017 with propensity-score matching to identify matched controls using national registry data.
resultsBody mass index at the time of transplantation was similar in patients who underwent bariatric surgery before versus after transplantation (32 versus 34 kg/m
conclusionsBariatric surgery before and after kidney transplantation results in similar maintenance of weight loss and improved long-term allograft survival compared with matched controls. Bariatric surgery appears to be a safe and reasonable approach to weight loss both before and after transplantation.
