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
backgroundObesity is accompanied by increased arterial stiffness, left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction, all associated with a negative prognosis. The evolution of LV mass, function, and arterial elasticity after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was unknown, and this is what we have investigated.
methodsThirty-four consecutive obese subjects (mean age, 39 ± 11 years; 35.2 % men), scheduled for LSG, were studied before, at 6 and 12 months after surgery.
resultsThe body mass index (BMI) decreased from 43.6 ± 11.9 to 32.1 ± 7.4 and to 28.9 ± 5.8 kg/m(2) at 6 and 12 months after surgery (all p < 0.05). The baseline LV mass index was correlated with age, BMI, waist circumference, blood glucose level, systemic hypertension stage, and with aortic distensibility, strain, and stiffness index (all p < 0.05). Aortic distensibility increased by 110 %, aortic strain by 58 %, and aortic stiffness index decreased by 88 % at 6 months after LSG (all p(6 months-baseline) < 0.05) and all the parameters had similar values at 12 months postoperatively (all p(12-6 months) = NS). LV hypertrophy prevalence decreased from 61.8 to 47.1 % and to 32.3 % at 6 and 12 months after surgery (all p < 0.05). The proportion of patients with LV diastolic dysfunction decreased from 52.9 to 23.5 % at 6 months (p(6 months-baseline) < 0.01) and to 20.6 % at 12 months postoperatively (p(12 -6 months)= 0.7).
conclusionsSignificant improvements of aortic elasticity and of LV diastolic function were recorded at 6 months, and they were maintained at 12 months after LSG. The LV hypertrophy showed also a favorable evolution: it has been slightly improved 6 months after surgery and further ameliorated 1 year postoperatively.
