[Multimodal obesity therapy-preconditioning neoadjuvant strategies prior to bariatric surgery].
Review in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBariatric surgery is a key component of a multimodal treatment approach. In addition to surgery, conservative therapeutic options should be offered to promote preoperative weight loss and improve obesity-related comorbidities.
objectiveThis review aims to present available preconditioning strategies and evaluate whether and to what extent they improve pre- and postoperative weight loss and reduce perioperative risks. MATERIALS AND
methodsAnalysis and discussion of current literature on the topic.
resultsThe data available are highly heterogeneous. Preoperative weight loss can be achieved through hypocaloric diets, intragastric balloon placement, or the addition of glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP-1) agonists to lifestyle interventions before bariatric procedures. However, studies have not yet confirmed a positive effect on perioperative risk or postoperative weight development.
conclusionAlthough some preconditioning strategies appear promising and are partly part of clinical routine, the current evidence base is insufficient to support uniform recommendations for preconditioning prior to bariatric surgery.
