Sleeve Gastrectomy in Different Age Groups: a Comparative Study of 5-Year Outcomes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been used more frequently over the past 10 years. As the population ages, a larger number of older people will suffer from weight-related comorbidities, resulting in bariatric surgery becoming a dominant solution for improving health and quality of life. We assessed the long-term outcomes of LSG in elderly patients.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent LSG between January 2007 and August 2009. We subdivided 123 patients into <35 (n = 43), 35-55 (n = 59), and >55 (n = 21) age groups.
resultsThe respective mean excess body mass index loss and excess weight loss were 42.5% ± 3.1% and 41.3% ± 12.3% for the <35 age group, 48.7% ± 4.1% and 45.6% ± 10.6% for the 35-55 age group, and 53.6% ± 4.6% and 52.1% ± 11.1% for the >55 age group. The follow-up compliance rates at the 5-year visit were 23.85, 31.11, and 47.61% for the <35, 35-55, and >55 age groups, respectively. The corresponding Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System scores were 3.7 ± 1.1, 4.0 ± 0.7, and 5.3 ± 1.3. The comorbidities of all the patients improved significantly, with a non-significant distribution between the three groups for each comorbidity.
conclusionsLSG is a useful tool for people who want to modify their eating habits and lose weight healthily. This study suggests that long-term weight loss, improvements in comorbidity, and compliance to follow-up are significant for patients >55 years old.
