Simultaneous Liver Transplantation and Sleeve Gastrectomy: Prohibitive Combination or a Necessity?
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 19 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Previously, many morbidly obese (MO) patients were denied liver transplantation (LT) because of the higher operative risk. However, nowadays, 5 and 10 years graft survival is the rule, and patients whose lives can be prolonged with LT are dying of obesity-related comorbidities. Recent experience suggests that weight reduction in MO liver transplant recipients would improve their long-term survival. The bariatric surgery before LT is contraindicated for patients with decompensated cirrhosis, while post-transplant intervention is associated with increased technical difficulty. We present our experience with three patients who underwent simultaneous liver transplantation and sleeve gastrectomy. After a median 13 months follow-up, all patients are alive, having normal allograft function and significant weight loss. Combined liver transplantation with simultaneous sleeve gastrectomy appears technically feasible and relatively safe in selected patients.
