Bariatric Surgery Is Efficacious and Improves Access to Transplantation for Morbidly Obese Renal Transplant Candidates.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 5 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
backgroundThe surgical risk of morbidly obese patients is high and even higher for kidney transplant candidates. A BMI > 35-40 kg/m
methodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of prospectively collected data on morbidly obese renal transplant candidates who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in our institution between January 2009 and September 2017. The reported outcome included body weight and graft status after a mean follow-up of 47 months (range 0.5-5 years).
resultsTwenty-four patients (8 females, 16 males, average age 54 years, average preoperative BMI 41 kg/m
conclusionsLSG and LRYGB appear to effectively address obesity issues before kidney transplantation and improve surgical access. Morbidly obese transplant candidates would benefit from prior bariatric surgery.
