Sleeve Gastrectomy After Liver Transplantation: Feasibility and Outcomes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. 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
backgroundKnowledge regarding the feasibility and safety of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in obese liver transplant recipients is scarce. We report our experience of sleeve gastrectomy following liver transplantation (LT).
methodsAll patients who had undergone LT and subsequently underwent SG at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Surgical outcomes, liver and kidney function tests, outcomes of obesity-related comorbidities, and excess weight loss were analyzed.
resultsBetween May 2008 and February 2015, six consecutive patients underwent SG after LT. Three procedures (50%) were performed totally by laparoscopy, and three by upfront laparotomy for concomitant incisional hernia complex repair. Within the first 30 days, one complication occurred: early gastric fistula that required multiple endoscopic procedures and re-intervention, followed by death 19 months after SG due to multi-organ failure. Another patient had one late complication: chronic infection on a parietal mesh successfully controlled by mesh removal. Excess weight loss averaged 76% at 2 years with a median BMI of 28 (21-39) kg/m
conclusionsSG is technically feasible after LT and resulted in weight loss without adversely affecting graft function and immunosuppression. However, morbidity and mortality are high.
