Single-port Laparoscopic Surgery for the Treatment of Severe Obesity: Review and Perspectives.
Review in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
This report aims to review current data on single-incision (single-port) laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for bariatric surgery. A comprehensive research of Pubmed database and Cochrane library on SILS bariatric surgery was conducted. Twenty-eight articles met inclusion criteria (3611 patients). Intraoperative and clinical outcomes for SILS sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and adjustable gastric banding (AGB) seem comparable to conventional laparoscopy. SILS for SG was safe and feasible with good outcomes. The same stands for RYGB but more studies are necessary for safe conclusions, while additional trocars are necessary to perform the procedure. AGB is feasible and safe by SILS but the declining number of annual procedures will probably limit the use of SILS. Major studies are unavailable for SILS and other bariatric procedures.
