Five-year Outcomes of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Comparison Between Adults and Adolescents.
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 29 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.

Abstract
backgroundBariatric surgery in adolescents is still under debate. Literature about the long-term impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on adolescents' obesity and associated morbidities is scarce. It is unknown if LSG shows better long-term results in the adolescent or adult group.
aimTo compare the long-term effectiveness of LSG on obesity and associated comorbidities between adolescents and adults.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed all patients with morbid obesity who underwent LSG in (2011-2012) and were followed for up to 5 years. Patients were divided into two groups: adolescents and adults. Data were compared between the two groups.
resultsLSG was performed in 139 adults and 91 adolescents. The mean ages of the adults and adolescents were 37.4 ± 11.4 and 17 ± 1.5 years, respectively. The preoperative body mass index values of the adults and adolescents were 48.4 ± 8.7 and 47.6 ± 7.5 kg/m2, respectively (P = 0.95). At 5 years, percentage of total weight loss increased in adolescents (to 35.8 ± 11.5%), while it remained almost the same in adults (26.3 ± 10%). At 1 year, about 68.2% of adults and 62.5% of adolescents were cured from diabetes though, 13% of diabetic adults had relapse at 5 years and none of the adolescents relapsed. Postoperative complications occurred in both groups.
conclusionLSG showed comparable weight loss results in adults and adolescents, with better results in adolescents. LSG is more effective in preventing and treating diabetes/prediabetes in the adolescent group.
