Cardiac Remodeling after Bariatric Surgery Beyond Weight Loss: A Dose-Response Analysis.
Observational study in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundObesity is associated with deleterious metabolic and hemodynamic changes resulting in cardiac remodeling. Bariatric surgery is highly effective for both weight reduction and reverse cardiac remodeling. However, whether these changes depend on the magnitude of weight loss is unknown. This study aims to compare cardiac structure and diastolic function before and after bariatric surgery and examine its association with body mass index (BMI) variation.
methodsConsecutive bariatric patients operated between June 2023 and June 2024 were screened for inclusion. Patients with a) previous bariatric surgery, b) moderate to severe valvular disease, c) those without follow-up 1 year after the intervention, or c) those who declined to participate were excluded. Cardiac structure and diastolic function were assessed preoperatively and 12 months after the surgery.
resultsA sample of 70 patients was analyzed. After 12 months, the left atrial (LA) volume index went from 25.0 ± 6.1 ml/m
conclusionSignificant reverse cardiac remodeling occurs after bariatric surgery with no association with BMI reduction. Further research is warranted to clarify the beneficial cardiovascular effects of bariatric surgery beyond weight loss.
