Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy, long and short-term impact on weight loss and associated co-morbidities.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LVSG) has become the most popular operation for the treatment of morbid obesity in the United States. Being a purely restrictive procedure, the LVSG works to reduce the caloric intake of patients as well as decrease appetite through removal of ghrelin producing cells. Initially developed as the first part of a combined two step restrictive and malabsorptive procedure, the LVSG developed as a standalone procedure when patients lost significant weight with the restrictive portion of the operation alone. Short term outcomes have been promising in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbid conditions. Long term outcomes are still evolving, but do demonstrate durable weight loss for a significant number of patients. Concerns with the LVSG in the long term revolve around development or worsening of gastroesophageal reflux disease or weight regain. The LVSG has been demonstrated to be a useful tool in the surgical management of morbid obesity.
