The Influence of Bariatric Surgery on Matrix Metalloproteinase Plasma Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Biomolecules, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is a safe and effective procedure for treating obesity and metabolic conditions such as type 2
objectivesTo evaluate the effect of weight loss in bariatric surgery patients using oxidative stress markers and to compare MMP levels in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
methodsThis was a prospective, controlled study including 45 morbidly obese patients with T2DM (BMI > 35 kg/m
resultsSignificant and sustained weight loss was observed after surgery in both groups, with reductions in BMI. MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels decreased significantly after one year of follow-up.
conclusionsBariatric surgery is an effective long-term intervention for weight loss and associated comorbidities, including T2DM. MMP-2 and MMP-9 proved to be effective markers of extracellular matrix remodeling, with significant reductions following surgery.
