Impact of Bariatric Surgery and Endoscopic Therapies on Liver Health in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This review examines the effectiveness of various surgical and endoscopic bariatric interventions in improving several components of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) consistently showed substantial long-term reductions in liver fat, inflammation, and fibrosis, achieving resolution of steatosis in up to 95% of cases. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) provided comparable hepatic benefits, significantly reducing liver fibrosis and steatosis in approximately 60% of patients. Adjustable gastric banding (AGB) demonstrated meaningful though comparatively modest hepatic improvements, with steatosis resolution in about 42% of patients. More aggressive procedures like biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) showed profound metabolic effects, though with increased nutritional risk. Endoscopic therapies, including intragastric balloon (IGB) and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), offered notable short- to medium-term hepatic improvements, significantly reducing steatosis and fibrosis markers. Newer therapies like duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR) and the duodenal-jejunal bypass liner showed promising preliminary results, warranting further investigation. Overall, surgical interventions remain superior for sustained liver health improvements, while endoscopic therapies present viable alternatives for patients requiring less invasive interventions.
