Long-Term Outcomes and Quality of Life at More than 10 Years After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Using Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS).
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 14 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
introductionLiterature on long-term (> 10 years) outcomes in terms of weight loss, resolution of co-morbidities, and quality of life (QoL) after bariatric surgery is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the excess weight loss (EWL), resolution of comorbidities, and QoL more than 10 years after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) using the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS).
methodsData on patient demographics, weight, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, type of surgery, complications, and QoL were collected from a prospectively maintained database.
resultsA total of 92 patients out of 104 who underwent LRYGB during the study period and completed a median follow-up of 130 months were successfully contacted. The median age was 48 years (IQR 42-54 years) and 85.9% had a BMI of more than 40. The median excess weight loss (EWL) was 46.5% (IQR 27.9-64.3%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus reduced from 56.5 to 23.9% (p < 0.001), hypertension from 51.1 to 39.1% (p = 0.016), and obstructive sleep apnoea from 33.7 to 12.0% (p < 0.001). Participants reported feeling better (median 0.2, IQR 0.2-0.4), engaging in more physical activity (0.1, IQR 0.1-0.3), having more satisfactory social contacts (0.4, IQR 0.2-0.5), a better ability to work (0.3, IQR - 0.1-0.5), and a healthier approach to food (0.2, IQR - 0.3-0.3) at the end of follow-up.
conclusionLRYGB leads to positive outcomes in terms of weight loss, reduction in comorbidities, and improvement in QoL at a follow-up of more than 10 years.
