A Systematic Review of Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is becoming a common cause of liver cirrhosis and a significant number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery suffer with it. There is currently lack of consensus among surgeons regarding safety of bariatric surgery in patients with liver cirrhosis and the best bariatric procedure in these patients. This review investigates published English language scientific literature systematically in an attempt to answer these questions. Eleven studies that reported experience of bariatric surgery in cirrhotic obese patients were included in this review. This review shows an acceptably higher overall risk of complications and perioperative mortality with bariatric surgery in cirrhotic patients. Surgeons must discuss the possibility of an unexpected intraoperative diagnosis of cirrhosis preoperatively with all bariatric surgery patients and agree on a course of action.
