1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Obesity, a globally prevalent condition associated with various comorbidities, has significant impacts on male endocrine health, including alterations in testosterone levels. Metabolic Bariatric Surgery stands out as an effective approach to promoting weight loss and improving hormonal outcomes. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) or Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) on testosterone levels in men. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA guidelines, registered under Id no. CRD42025633946, approved on Jan 29, 2025, in the Prospective International Registry of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and Web of Science platforms (up to July 2024) focused on studies comparing RYGB and LSG or LAGB and reporting pre- and post-surgery testosterone levels. Data on patients, interventions, and outcomes were extracted, and statistical analyses employed random-effects models and heterogeneity assessment. The combined analysis showed a mean difference of 113.07 ng/dL (95% CI: 1.47 to 224.67) favoring RYGB, with high heterogeneity (I
