The association of higher offspring early-childhood weight gain with prepregnancy metabolic and bariatric surgery.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to assess maternal gestational outcomes and offspring growth trajectories following prepregnancy metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) compared with non-MBS controls.
methodsSingle-center deliveries between January 2020 and March 2023 with prepregnancy Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (herein referred to as "bypass"), sleeve gastrectomy (herein referred to as "sleeve"), and non-MBS controls were included. Offspring growth trajectories were compared with the World Health Organization child growth standards. Linear mixed models assessed MBS-bypass and MBS-sleeve offspring weight, length, and BMI trajectories with a prepregnancy BMI 27 to 37 kg/m
resultsThe study included 440 participants with prepregnancy MBS (MBS-bypass, 185; MBS-sleeve, 225; 76% Hispanic/Latino) and 13,434 non-MBS controls. Gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes mellitus were similar, whereas hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were more common after MBS. The post-MBS offspring had lower birth weight but higher weight gain at 24 months (sleeve, +1.4 kg [95% CI: 1.0-1.9]; bypass, +0.5-0.7 kg [95% CI: 0.0-1.2]) compared with non-MBS groups. Male children had higher weight gain than females. The post-MBS-sleeve but not the post-MBS-bypass offspring had higher BMI z scores.
conclusionsThe higher early-life weight gain and sex differences in the post-MBS-sleeve group compared with the post-MBS-bypass group provide a window toward elucidating pathways to mitigate intergenerational metabolic risk transfer.
