Is the Sleeve Gastrectomy Always a Better Procedure? Five-Year Results from a Retrospective Matched Case-Control Study.
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 6 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
introductionBariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for obesity. A recent worldwide survey demonstrated that Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure, while Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) has been almost abandoned.
objectivesThe aim of this retrospective study was to compare 5-year results of LSG and LAGB at our Institution. MATERIALS AND
methodsProspective maintained database of our Institution was reviewed to find all patients who had undergone LSG between January 2009 and December 2011. Inclusion criteria were BMI of 40-50 kg/m
resultsA total number of 122 patients were included in this study, 61 in each group. Better %EWL was observed in the LSG group at 1, 3, and 5 years. Both procedures induced improvements of obesity-related diseases without significant difference. In the LAGB group, ten patients underwent uneventful band removal. In the LSG group, two patients had serious postoperative complications.
conclusionLSG achieves better %EWL than LAGB within 5 years, but comorbidities improvement is not significantly different. Severity of complication is higher after LSG. LAGB is still a good option for selected patients.
