The Effectiveness and Safety of Sleeve Gastrectomy in the Obese Elderly Patients: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
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.
Who cites it
12 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
backgroundThis systematic review was performed to compare the effectiveness and safety of SG in the obese elderly patients with the young ones.
methodsCohort studies that compared outcomes among old and young patients who had undergone SG were included. Summary odds ratios were estimated using a random effect model.
resultsEleven studies were included. Old patients had a worse outcome in percentage of excess weight loss than the young ones (SMD -0.39, 95 % CI -0.55 to -0.24). No significant differences were recorded in resolution of co-morbidities: type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.60, 95 % CI 0.84-3.05), hypertension (OR 1.05, 95 % CI 0.65-1.68), dyslipidemia (OR 1.38, 95 % CI 0.68-2.80), OSAS (OR 0.64, 95 % CI 0.30-1.34), or postoperative complications (OR 0.89, 95 % CI 0.51-1.55) between the elderly and the young who had undergone SG.
conclusionsSG was effective for weight loss and resolution of co-morbidities with low complication rate in the obese elderly patients.
