Weight loss surgery improves quality of life in pediatric patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Article in Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00474318 (Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder, which causes brittle bones resulting in recurrent fractures. The associated poor mobility of children with OI increases susceptibility to obesity, and obesity further dramatically limits mobility and increases fracture risk.
objectivesThe aim of this report is to describe outcomes of weight loss surgery (WLS) in 2 adolescents with severe obesity and OI.
settingTwo University Hospitals (in the United Kingdom and in the United States).
methodsTwo cases of OI treated with WLS were identified. Pre- and postoperative anthropometric and biochemical data and clinical course were reviewed.
resultsIn these 2 cases, preoperative Body Mass Index (BMI) values were 38 and 46 kg/m
conclusionWLS effectively treated severe obesity in 2 OI patients and substantially improved mobility and quality of life, theoretically reducing fracture risk.
