Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for mildly obese patients (Body Mass Index of 30 <35 kg/m²): operative outcome and short-term results.
Article in Journal of obesity, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundData concerning laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in mild obesity are under investigation. AIM/
objectiveMay 2010 to May 2012, 122 consecutive patients with preoperative body mass index (BMI) of 33 ± 2.5 kg/m² (range 30-34.9) undergoing LSG were studied. Mean age was 33 ± 10 years (range 15-60), and 105 (86%) were women. Mean preoperative weight was 91 ± 9.7 kg (range 66-121), and preoperative excess weight was 30 ± 6.7 kg (range 19-43). Comorbidities were detected in 44 (36%) patients.
resultsMean operative time was 58 ± 15 min (range 40-95), and postoperative stay was 1.8 ± 0.19 days (range 1.5-3). There were no admissions to intensive care unit and no deaths within 30 days of surgery. The rates of leaks and strictures were 0%, and of hemorrhage 1.6%. At 12 months, BMI decreased to 24.7 ± 2, and the percentage of excess weight loss (% EWL) reached 76.5%. None of the patients had a BMI below 20 kg/m². Comorbidities resolved in 70.5% or improved in 29.5%. Patient satisfaction scoring (1-5) at least 1 year after was 4.6 ± 0.8 for body image and 4.4 ± 0.6 for food tolerance.
conclusionLSG for mildly obese patients has proved to be technically relatively easy, safe, and benefic in the short term.
