The role of bariatric surgery on kidney transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Canadian Urological Association journal = Journal de l'Association des urologues du Canada, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionObesity (body mass index [BMI] >35 kg/m
methodsA systematic search was conducted up to March 2020. Both comparative and non-comparative studies investigating the role of bariatric surgery before or after KTX were considered. Outcomes included change in BMI, rates of mortality and complications, and the rate of patients who underwent KTX following bariatric surgery. Pooled estimates were calculated using the random effects meta-analysis of proportions.
resultsTwenty-one studies were eligible for final review; 11 studies investigated the role of bariatric surgery before KTX. The weighted mean BMI was 43.4 (5.7) kg/m
conclusionsBariatric surgery may be safe and effective in reducing weight to improve KTX candidacy in patients with severe obesity and can also be used safely following KTX.
