The effect of weight loss on the cardiac structure and function after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery in morbidly obese individuals.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundHerein, we investigate the anthropometric, biochemical and left ventricle (LV) geometry changes following the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) operation in morbidly obese individuals.
methodsEighty-three morbidly obese participants (mean age, 46.1 ± 11.5 years; 30.1 % men), scheduled for elective LAGB were examined before and 12 months after the surgery. LV geometry and diastolic function were investigated by 2-dimensional echocardiography, whereas laboratory tests assessed the glycaemic, serum lipid and inflammatory marker profiles.
resultsTwelve months after the operation, body mass index (BMI) decreased from 46.9 ± 7.2 kg/m(2) to 40.1 ± 8.2 kg/m(2) (p < 0.05), which was associated with the significant improvements in glycaemic control, inflammatory state, LV end-diastolic diameter (53.6 ± 4.6 mm vs. 52.9 ± 4.1 mm, p < 0.05), LV mass (223.6 ± 61.3 vs. 215.4 ± 52.7 g, p < 0.05) and LV mass index (53.9 ± 14.1 g/m(2.7) vs. 52.0 ± 12.3 g/m(2.7), p < 0.05). However, no overall improvements in LV geometry or the prevalence of LV hypertrophy subtypes were recorded 12 months after the LAGB. The reduction in LV end-diastolic diameter (ß = 0.56, p = 0.0001) and BMI (ß = 0.26, p = 0.015) were both associated with diminished LV mass. Additionally, a statistically significant correlation between LV mass and changes in BMI (R = 0.29, p = 0.007), waist circumference (R = 0.32, p = 0.004), LV end-diastolic diameter (R = 0.63, p = 0.0001) and E-wave deceleration time (R = -0.24, p = 0.03) were observed within our study population.
conclusionsLV mass decreases 12 months after LAGB surgery, but no improvements in LV geometry and function occur. The regression of LV mass is better predicted by weight loss than by reduction in blood pressure or changes in metabolic parameters.
