Rapid improvement of hepatic steatosis and liver stiffness after metabolic/bariatric surgery: a prospective study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and related steatohepatitis (MASH) are common among obese patients and may improve after metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS). 93 Patients undergoing MBS in 2021-2022 were prospectively enrolled. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM; via vibration-controlled transient elastography [VCTE], point [pSWE] and 2D [2DSWE] shear wave elastography) and non-invasive steatosis assessment (via controlled attenuation parameter [CAP]) were performed before (baseline [BL]) and three months (M3) after surgery. 93 patients (median age 40.9 years, 68.8% female, median BL-BMI: 46.0 kg/m
