Achieving the "Minimal Scarring" Concept in Bariatrics by Port-Site Relocation.
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 1 paper, 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
backgroundThe aim of single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and other types of trans-umbilical procedures (TU) has been to perform operations with minimal or no visible scars. However, in bariatric surgery, they are in particular demanding and the final esthetic advantage is in question given the long-term abdominal skin alteration, or abdominoplasty. We propose an alternative rationale and approach to achieve the minimal scarring concept in bariatric surgery.
methodsA retrospective report of a straight forward method using four access ports, where three ports are concealed at either the lower panniculectomy region or the lateral folds of the umbilicus. The technique was performed on a pilot series of 65 female patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
resultsThe study sample had a mean age of 40.3 years and a mean BMI of 41.1 ± 4.2 kg/m(2). All procedures were completed laparoscopically. Field ergometry, working angles, and surgeon's convenience were not impaired. Mean operation time was 46 min and mean hospital stay was 2.3 days. Complications were minimal. Postoperative esthetic outcome and the rationale behind port placement were well appreciated by the patients.
conclusionsPerforming LSG with the described approach is feasible, safe, and consistent with basic principles of ergometry including correct working triangulation. Esthetic outcome is up to the minimal scarring concept and future body contouring is not hampered.
