Changes in blood lipid levels following silastic ring vertical gastroplasty.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Silastic Ring Vertical Gastroplasty (SRVG) operation on blood lipid levels in obese men and women during the first year following surgery.
methods25 patients (11 men and 14 women) age 17-50 (mean 33 years) who suffered from morbid obesity (BMI >40, range 45.9+/-4.7 kg/m2) underwent SRVG. Blood samples were collected before operation and 3, 6 and 12 months following surgery and tested for: triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C, and Lp(a).
resultsBoth men and women lost weight significantly. Mean BMI decreased from 48.0 to 32.5 kg/m2 in men and from 44.3 to 29.0 kg/m2 in women (P<0.01). Blood lipid levels 1 year following surgery demonstrated the following changes: In women, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL cholesterol and Lp(a) decreased from 160.7 mg/dL to 67.7 mg/dL (P<0.01), from 220 mg/dL to 189 mg/dL, from 138.3 mg/dL to 111 mg/dL, from 17 mg/dL to 12 mg/dL, and from 77.5 mg/dL to 18.5 mg/dL (P<0.01), respectively, and HDL increased from 45 mg/dL to 50.5 mg/dL. In men, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL cholesterol and Lp(a) decreased from 246 mg/dL to 140 mg/dL (P<0.01), from 206 mg/dL to 170 mg/dL (P<0.01), from 134 mg/dL to 112 mg/dL (P<0.05), from 25 mg/dL to 15 mg/dL (P<0.01), and from 30.3 mg/dL to 11.6 mg/dL (P<0.01), respectively, and HDL increased from 31.3 mg/dL to 37.4 mg/dL (P<0.05).
conclusionSRVG improved blood lipid profile in obese patients during the first year following surgery. Reduction in cholesterol and its fractions reaches statistical significance only in men.
