Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Vs. Sleeve Gastrectomy: Balancing the Risks of Surgery with the Benefits of Weight Loss.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe purpose of the study was to compare weight loss, metabolic parameters, and postoperative complications in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
methodsWe retrospectively studied 30-day postoperative complications as well as change in weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C, and creatinine from baseline to 2, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively in 383 patients undergoing GB and 336 patients undergoing SG at the University of Michigan from January 2008 to November 2013. For a study population which typically has high attrition rates, there were excellent follow-up rates (706/719 at 2 months, 566/719 at 6 months, 519/719 at 12 months, and 382/719 at 24 months).
resultsBaseline characteristics were similar in both groups except for higher weight and BMI in the SG group. The GB group experienced greater total body weight loss at 6, 12, and 24 months (41.9 vs. 34.6 kg at 24 months, p < 0.0001). Excess weight loss was 69.7 and 51.7 % following GB and SG respectively at 24 months (p < 0.0001). BP improved significantly in both groups. Surgical complication rates were greater after GB (10.1 vs. 3.5 %, p = 0.0007) with no significant difference in life-threatening or potentially life-threatening complications.
conclusionsWeight loss was greater following GB compared to SG at 2 years. The risk for surgical complications was greater following GB. Surgical intervention should be tailored to surgical risk, comorbidities, and desired weight loss.
