Predicting Weight Loss and Comorbidity Improvement 7 Years Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Does Early Weight Loss Matter?
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundPredicting the variables that affect the outcomes following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) would allow focused resource allocation with a view to improving results. Whilst greater early post-operative weight loss following LSG is associated with greater short-term weight loss, the relationship between early results and long-term outcomes has not been described.
methodsA retrospective cohort analysis was performed on patients who underwent LSG 7 years before a follow-up telephone interview was performed. Multivariate regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between early weight loss at 4 weeks following surgery and weight loss at 7 years. A non-inferiority analysis assessed whether early weight loss was associated with either improvement or resolution of hypertension or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at 7 years after surgery.
resultsOf the 156 patients identified between April and October 2012, 130 (83.3%) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The average preoperative BMI was 42.5 kg/m
conclusionsEarly weight loss does not appear to be associated with greater weight loss nor comorbidity improvement 7 years following LSG.
