Safety and efficacy of the sleeve gastrectomy as a strategy towards kidney transplantation.

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
backgroundObese individuals suffering from advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be precluded from accessing kidney transplantation. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity and related conditions but its use in those with severe CKD remains limited due to morbidity concerns. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients with severe CKD as a bridging strategy towards kidney transplant candidacy.
methodsThis is a single-center retrospective study of a prospectively collected database of obese patients referred by the multi-organ transplant team for surgical weight loss, who underwent SG during 2013-2018. The primary outcome was 90-day major morbidity. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, and successful kidney transplantation. Descriptive statistics are expressed as count (percent) or median (interquartile range).
results32 patients met inclusion criteria. 18 (56%) were male with a median age and BMI of 51 (11) years and 42.3 (5.2) kg/m
conclusionSG is safe and effective for weight loss and bridging to candidacy for kidney transplantation in patients with severe CKD. The acceptable safety and efficiency of SG in this high-risk population makes it an optimal choice as a bridging procedure.
