Hypoabsorption in Bariatric Surgery: Is the Benefit Worth the Risk?
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 and bariatric surgery has been well described in the existing literature to be an effective and safe modality for weight loss in patients with obesity. Recently, hypoabsorptive procedures such as one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), and single-anastomosis duodenoileostomy with sleeve (SADI-S) have gained traction, particularly among patients with severe obesity. These procedures combine restrictive and hypoabsorptive mechanisms, resulting in significant and sustainable weight loss, especially in those with severe obesity and associated comorbidities. However, the risk of malnutrition and nutritional deficiency following these procedures has been a deterrent for surgeons in their adoption. This review evaluates the existing literature on the safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of OAGB, BPD-DS, and SADI-S. While these hypoabsorptive procedures represent highly effective options for treating obesity, the associated nutritional complications necessitate the need for long-term follow-up and supplementation and highlight the need for careful patient selection.
