Evaluation of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy compared with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for people with morbid obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPrevalence of obesity in the world, in both developed and developing countries, is growing rapidly. Bariatric surgery is now accepted as the treatment for morbid obesity.
objectiveThis study compares laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy's effectiveness (LSG) with the most common bariatric surgery, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y (LRYGB) gastric bypass.
methodsA systematic review was performed using relevant search data bases, including Cochrane library, PubMed, Magi ran, Iranmedex, SID and Trip database, with no time limit. Data bases were searched until July 2014 for randomized control trials. The studied population included people aged between 18-60 years, with BMI≥35 and at least one obesity-related disease, or people with BMI≥40. BMI change, as the research outcome, was investigated at least in one-year follow-up period. Cochrane criteria were used to assess quality of studies. The results were extracted from the articles.
resultsIn total, 384 articles were obtained in the search; six RCTs were included in this study. There was no significant difference between the two laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures in BMI, and both groups were similar in weight loss CI [-.1.31, 0.43], p=0.32.
conclusionThe two procedures of bariatric surgery are effective and reliable treatments. Performing more trial studies with greater sample size and longer follow-up period for making final decision in selecting a certain surgical procedure is essential.
