An Evaluation of the Modern North American Bariatric Surgery Landscape: Current Trends and Predictors of Procedure Selection.
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
purposeThe last 5 years have produced a dramatic transformation in the landscape of bariatric and metabolic surgery. Yet, while the landscape of bariatric procedures is changing, little is known about these trends or which factors are responsible for their evolution.
methodsAll primary elective laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) cases were extracted from the comprehensive Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) data registry from 2015 to 2018.
resultsA total of 590,971 patients were identified, with 79.6% being female. Overall, 73.4% of patients underwent LSG. The mean age was 44.5 ± 12.0 years and mean BMI was 45.3 ± 7.9 kg/m
conclusionThe overall numbers of bariatric cases have increased from 2015 to 2018 and are associated with an increase in proportion of LSG cases and a decrease in proportion of LRYGB cases over time. Factors other than patient comorbidities alone are responsible for the current trends and modern landscape of bariatric surgery.
