1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) are two restrictive bariatric procedures. Eight studies (three randomized, controlled trials, four retrospective studies, and one prospective study) with 536 patients on LSG and LGCP were included by searching PUBMED, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. The software Review Manager 5.3 was used to evaluate operation time, adverse events, percent excess weight loss (%EWL), resolution of obesity-related comorbidities, and postoperative hospital stay. Despite the limitations, this meta-analysis suggests that LSG is superior to LGCP in terms of providing greater %EWL at the follow-up of 3, 6, and 12 months and 3 years. LSG gains shorter postoperative hospital stay than LGCP. No significant difference was found in operation time, adverse events, and the resolution of obesity-related comorbidities.
