Improvement of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in Japanese obese patients.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) using computed tomography (CT) images.
methodsWe analyzed data from 57 patients who underwent LSG and had CTs performed before and after surgery. The patients included 34 women and 23 men (with an average age of 43 years); their mean preoperative weight and body mass index were 120 kg and 46 kg/m
resultsThe mean interval between CT scans before and after surgery was 26 months. The total weight loss and % excess weight loss were 35 kg and 72%, respectively. The remission rates for T2DM, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were 85%, 76% and 84%, respectively. After LSG, the L/S ratio increased in all the patients, while all except for one had L/S ratio >0.9. We diagnosed 33 out of 57 patients (58%) as having NAFLD before the operation. After the operation, the L/S ratios and liver volumes were not statistically different between the patients with previous NAFLD and those without it.
conclusionLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective treatment for obesity-related health disorders including NAFLD in Japanese obese patients.
