Assessing the Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Quality of Life in the Saudi Population: A Systematic Review.
Review in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 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
Obesity, a global pandemic, has a profound adverse impact on health and quality of life (QoL). Therefore, bariatric surgery is the best way to lose weight in the long term and enhance QoL in Saudi Arabia. The data comprising 15 articles related to QoL following bariatric surgery among Saudi people were obtained through the search of databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The included studies provided data regarding the assessment of QoL via different tools, such as the impact of weight on quality of life (IWQOL-Lite), the Moorehead Ardelt quality of life questionnaire II (MA QoLQII), and the Short Form-36 questions (SF-36) in patients who had undergone bariatric procedures of any type. There was a significant improvement in parameters relevant to obesity, including weight, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), and cholesterol, in post-bariatric participants. The weight decreased from 126.38 ± 24.97 kg to 81.41 ± 20.87 kg, and the BMI reduced from 45.78 ± 7.73 kg/m
