Body Composition Changes and Predictor of Weight Loss in Short Term after Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article 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
backgroundMetabolic bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for achieving sustainable weight loss in patients with severe obesity. However, changes in body composition, particularly limb composition, after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in the Asian population have not been widely reported. Additionally, few studies have focused on predicting short-term weight loss following SG.
methodsWe evaluated 159 patients with obesity who underwent SG between May 2020 and June 2023 at our hospital. Each patient's demographic, anthropometric, laboratory, and body composition data were collected at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of weight loss.
resultsThe mean age of the 159 patients was 30.4 ± 7.7 years, with 78.0% being female. Compared to baseline values, anthropometric parameters and metabolic profiles improved significantly after surgery. All body composition indices decreased, with fat mass (FM, in kg and percentage), visceral fat area (VFA), and obesity degree continuing to decline up to 1 year postoperatively. The percentage of excess weight loss (EWL%) reached 55.7 ± 17.6% at 3 months, meeting the standard for effective weight loss. Eleven factors were negatively correlated with EWL%, and obesity degree was identified as an independent predictor of weight loss (OR: 0.951, P = 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for obesity degree was 0.781 (95% CI: 0.668-0.894, P < 0.001), with sensitivity and specificity values of 0.643 and 0.857, respectively, and a cutoff value of 193.5%.
conclusionsSleeve gastrectomy significantly improved anthropometric and metabolic variables, achieving effective short-term weight loss. Body composition changes were observed across the whole body, limbs, and trunk. Obesity degree was closely associated with effective weight loss after surgery and may serve as a potentially useful metric for clinical practice.
