Analysis of the results of sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity and the role of ghrelin.
Review in Surgery today, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
To evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a relatively new bariatric surgical procedure associated with duodenal switch (DS), we analyzed the findings of ten published studies on LSG. No relationship was found between the excess weight loss and the size of the bougie or the follow-up period. The amount of gastric fundus removed may be an important consideration because most ghrelin-producing cells are in the fundus; however, there is insufficient evidence that lowered ghrelin is the sole reason for the resulting weight loss after this procedure. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is still considered experimental by many, but the initial results are promising, with one study even suggesting long-term results comparable with those of other bariatric procedures. Ghrelin may play a role in the weight loss associated with LSG, but is unlikely to be the sole reason for its success.
