Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in the Elderly: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The prevalence of severe obesity in the elderly is increasing. This systematic review reviews the literature in reference to the efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery on the elderly patient ≥ 65 years. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was completed. The data was limited to include only Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients ≥ 65 years. Eight primary studies (1835 patients) were included, all case series. Mean age was 67.6 years. Mean excess weight loss at study endpoint was 66.2 %. Mean 30-day mortality was 0.14 %. The mean total post-operative complication rate was 21.1 %, with wound infections being the most common (7.58 %) followed by cardiorespiratory complications (2.96 %). Bariatric surgery is effective in producing marked weight loss in patients ≥ 65 years with an acceptable safety profile.
