| Summary of Findings | From 3 systematic reviews of the efficacy of metabolic surgery in adult patients with hypertension and non-morbid obesity indexed across PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to June 2020. The methodological quality (AMSTAR 2) in all 3 included systematic reviews was critically low. Only 1 review performed dual data extraction; none of the reviews provided a list of excluded studies with rationale or provided details of funding. |
