Long-Term Remission Rate of Type 2 Diabetes Following Bariatric Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Adult Patients in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that poses significant health and economic burdens, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia where prevalence rates are among the highest globally. Bariatric surgery has emerged as a promising intervention, not only for weight reduction but also for inducing diabetes remission. However, while the short-term benefits of the procedure are well documented, long-term outcomes remain under-explored, especially in Saudi populations. This study aims to evaluate the long-term remission rates of T2DM and weight measurements following bariatric surgery in adult Saudi patients in Riyadh. Methods Using a retrospective cohort design, this study analyzes medical records of patients aged 18-65 who underwent bariatric surgery in the period of 2016-2020 and assesses Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels pre and post-surgery and diabetes remission using American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria. The research also investigates factors influencing relapse rates and potential gender differences in remission outcomes. Results Out of 74 participants, the majority were females (53, 71.62%) compared to males (21, 28.37%). The mean BMI was recorded at 44.91 ± 6.68 kg/m
