Preparation of a severely obese adolescent for significant and long-term weight loss: an illustrative case.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
For severely obese patients planning bariatric surgery, many surgeons advise pre-operative weight loss which can be difficult for some to achieve. We report a 16-year-old male who was referred for weight loss surgery in a very late stage of severe obesity with a weight and BMI of 310 kg and 93 kg/m(2), respectively. He also suffered from obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension. To prepare him for laparoscopic gastric bypass, a strict pre-operative nutritional intervention with inpatient and outpatient phases was designed. He lost 22 kg pre-operatively and an additional 86 kg by 67 months post-operatively, representing a 35 % total reduction in BMI. This case illustrates the feasibility and value of a defined pre-operative dietary intervention to effectively manage the weight of an adolescent referred late in the progression of severe obesity.
