Effects of bariatric surgery on breast density in adult obese women: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in immunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective methods for treating obesity. It can effectively reduce body weight and reduce the incidence of obesity-related breast cancer. However, there are different conclusions about how bariatric surgery changes breast density. The purpose of this study was to clarify the changes in breast density from before to after bariatric surgery. Methods: The relevant literature was searched through PubMed and Embase to screen for studies. Meta-analysis was used to clarify the changes in breast density from before to after bariatric surgery. Results: A total of seven studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis, including a total of 535 people. The average body mass index decreased from 45.3 kg/m Discussions: Breast density increased significantly after bariatric surgery, but this depended on the method of detecting breast density. Further randomized controlled studies are needed to validate our conclusions.
